ASTANA, Kazakhstan, February 26. KazMunayGas is
putting its best foot forward in crafting strategies to cut down on
methane emissions, with help from Doris and the International
Finance Corporation (IFC) in their corner, Trend reports via
Kazmunaygas.
A seminar on methane emissions management was held at JSC NC
“KazMunayGas” (KMG). Experts from Doris and representatives of the
International Finance Corporation (IFC), part of the World Bank
Group, participated in the event. These organizations are providing
KMG with consulting and technical support in this area.
The participants discussed effective methods for monitoring
emissions and applying new technologies to reduce them. Special
attention was given to advanced practices used in other countries,
which not only help protect the environment but also bring
significant economic benefits.
Noteworthy is that Kazakhstan joined the global methane
emissions reduction initiative (Global Methane Pledge) at the end
of 2023, committing to set clear targets and introduce appropriate
regulations. A cherry on top was the European Union’s green light
for a regulation aimed at cutting down methane emissions in the
energy sector in August 2024, putting the pedal to the metal on
measurements, monitoring, reporting, and verification of
emissions.
At the seminar’s conclusion, experts presented information on
the problem of methane emissions and their environmental impact, as
well as an exchange of experiences between representatives of KMG,
Doris, and IFC. The event concluded with recommendations for
further improvement of the methane emissions management system,
which will be an important step toward sustainable development and
environmental protection.
