More about Kazakhstan
Natural resources
Kazakhstan has extensive mineral resources including huge deposits of fossil fuels, especially oil and natural gas. At present around 60 different raw materials are being mined, with some of them Kazakhstan occupies a leading position on the world market, for example with tungsten, uranium, chromium, manganese, lead, molybdenum ores and phosphates (in the Karatau Mountains); There are also significant deposits of copper, zinc, nickel ores, titanium, gold (one of the world’s largest deposits in Bakirtschik in the northeast), silver, platinum, industrial diamonds, iron ore and bauxite. The oil and gas reserves of the Caspian Basin are considered resources of strategic importance for the security of the European Union’s energy supply, which is why an increase in investment in the Caspian region for the development, exploitation and transport of raw materials is expected. Crude oil and natural gas are sold in the west on the Mangistau peninsula, in the Embarevier (Aqtöbe area), Obtained in the Karachaganak gas condensate field in the western Kazakhstan region and in the Tengis field in the eastern Caspian Depression. Most of the oil is exported via Russian pipelines (from Tengis via Astrakhan to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossisk), recently also via Baku to Turkey or from the Karagandy area to western China. Coal production is concentrated in the region around Karagandy and Ekibastus in the northeast. Iron ore is mined in the Qostanai area in the north and chrome ore in the Aqtöbe area in the northwest.
Energy industry
90% of electricity is generated in thermal power plants (mainly coal and natural gas) and 8% in hydropower plants on the Irtysh, Syrdarja and Ili. The technical equipment for power generation and distribution is considered obsolete. The only nuclear power plant was shut down in 1999.
Industry
The industry is geared towards the extraction and processing of mining products and mineral raw materials. Two thirds of industrial production is accounted for by non-ferrous metallurgy, the fuel and energy sector, mechanical engineering (especially machine tools) and the metalworking and chemical industries (especially petrochemicals). Mining, industry and construction together have a share of 32.2% of GDP (2017). The systems are considered obsolete and there is a lack of modernization investments in many places. Industry causes serious environmental damage. The consumer goods and food industries are poorly developed and are accordingly dependent on imports.
