About Kazakhstan
Kazakhstan is the world's largest uranium producer and a major oil exporter via the Caspian, with an electricity system that runs on ageing Soviet-era coal plants. It launched the first emissions trading system in Asia in 2013, though allowance prices have stayed near zero. Vast steppe wind resources and a 2060 net-zero target underpin a slow transition.
Key Facts
- Supplies ~43% of global uranium
- Highest per-capita emissions in Central Asia
- Referendum approved first nuclear plant in 2024
