National Energy Report 2021

2020 turned out to be a turning point in all respects both for the world as a whole and for the Republic of Kazakhstan. The spread of the new coronavirus (COVID-19) has led to a 4% reduction in the global economy amid unprecedented large-scale shifts in the social, cultural and economic spheres. A sharp reduction in consumer mobility resulted in a decrease in demand for petroleum products and, as a result, oil prices. This prompted the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and a number of other countries (the OPEC+ alliance) to sharply reduce production volumes in order to stabilize world oil markets and prevent a sharp decline in prices. At the same time, the authorities of different countries have intensified the implementation of policies aimed at expanding the scale of the “energy transition” (with a departure from the use of hydrocarbons), as well as improving the environmental friendliness of the economy and energy systems. Energy companies have responded to this by implementing a number of strategic, tactical and technological initiatives designed to bring their activities in line with the objectives of environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG). As a result of the changes caused by COVID-19, the “green” policy and the shift in fundamental aspects, in 2020 the global demand for energy resources decreased by 6%, and the demand for oil and natural gas – by 10% and 4%, respectively, while the total volume of wind and solar generation increased by 9%.

Taking into account the above-mentioned fundamental changes both in the fundamental aspects of energy and in the public attitude to it, the National Energy Report for 2021 (NER-2021) is supposed to consider the following key issues:

  • What is the future path of global energy development after COVID-19, including opportunities for investment in various segments of the energy industry?
  • What political measures are being taken in the world to implement the “energy transition”, how are they implemented and how do they generally affect consumers, producers and investors?
  • What are the main opportunities and difficulties of the “energy transition” (including its proposed decarbonization) for Kazakhstan?
  • More specifically, what transition strategies are realistic and promising for Kazakhstan, and how will their implementation contribute to achieving the country’s main goals in the field of climate and economy?
  • Opportunities for Kazakhstan to achieve the goals of Paris Agreement?
  • The report will also provide updated statistical indicators and data blocks (for the period up to 2020), which are brief summaries of the main trends and forecasts (for the period up to 2050) for the energy sector of Kazakhstan, including the production of oil, gas, coal, electricity and uranium.

WE INVITE YOU TO READ THE PREVIOUSLY RELEASED NATIONAL ENERGY REPORTS.

he National Energy Report 2017 (NER 2017) builds on the comprehensive analysis in NER 2015 (which covered all sectors of Kazakhstan’s energy industry), but through a more selective focus on four key dimensions, which feature prominently in the organization of this report.
First, the chapters on oil, refined products, gas, coal, uranium, electric power, and greenhouse gas emissions each provide a concise update of the main statistical indicators and developments in these areas since the publication of NER 2015. Wherever possible, analysis of data for 2015 and 2016 are accompanied by coverage of trends and developments up through mid-2017.

Second, NER 2017 provides an updated assessment of the Outlook for each energy sector, evaluating the most recent energy industry targets and forecasts contained in official state documents (e.g., Concepts, Strategies) and Energy Ministry plans in light of current conditions. In many cases this evaluation includes comparison with proprietary IHS Markit forecasts and scenarios. When IHS Markit forecasts differ from state and industry projections—such as in the case of crude oil production—NER 2017 provides general explanations for the divergence in expected outcomes.

A key section in most chapters—Infrastructure and Technologies—represents a third major focus of NER 2017. Here the goal is to review the state of development of promising new sector-relevant technologies globally and their potential impact on energy markets. This also assesses their suitability for implementation in Kazakhstan, taking into account the development goals and targets for the country’s fuel and energy complex.

A fourth and final focus in each sector-themed chapter—Regulation—is on the legislative and regulatory environment surrounding energy production and consumption in Kazakhstan. Here NER 2017 reviews current legislation in each major energy industry, identifies key problems and major themes, and suggests changes in legislation and regulation that could potentially improve market function, energy security, and investment attractiveness.

Национальный Энергетический Доклад KAZENERGY 2015

KAZENERGY National Energy Report 2015 provides complex representation of current situation and outlook on development of base sectors of Kazakhstan’s economy. Main goals of the report – analysis of current state of coal, oil and gas, uranium industries, as well as areas of production, transport, distribution, marketing and consumption of electric and heat energy. The report also evaluates potential of Kazakhstan in usage of renewable energy sources, implementation of “green initiatives”, decreasing of energy and resource intensity of the economy, in the light of hosting International Exhibition EXPO-2017.

Apart from that, the publication includes research on geopolitical and economic changes, which substantially impacted economy and energy sector of Kazakhstan. IHS analysts outlined medium-term picture of the future for Kazakhstan, associated with an increase in the total volume of crude oil, as well as pricing on the international oil markets.

In response to these new challenges of today, as well as the focus of the Republic of Kazakhstan Strategy for sustainable political and economic development in the region, we offer you an electronic version of the of the KAZENERGY National Energy Report 2015.
