A Green Energy Equipment Service Center has opened in Astana. Established at the China-SCO Economic and Trade Institute, the center will help introduce modern technical solutions, provide support for the installation and repair of power plant equipment, and train engineers and technical specialists from Central Asia and other SCO regions to work with innovative green technologies. The new facility was unveiled at the Kazakhstan-China Technical Cooperation Forum.
«As part of the center's activities, we will train specialists both here in Astana and at our Economic and Trade Institute in China. We have close ties with major manufacturers of generators, compressors, and gas and steam turbine equipment. We will train specialists to maintain this equipment, including in accordance with Kazakhstan’s standards,» said Zheng Shi, Director of the China-SCO Economic and Trade Institute.
At the forum, companies from both countries discussed the introduction of advanced technologies and the localization of production. Chinese partners plan to take part in around 100 projects in Kazakhstan. Promising green energy initiatives include generating electricity from industrial waste heat and harnessing geothermal resources. The Karaganda Turbomechanical Plant is also ready to join the collaboration. The company aims to establish joint production of steam turbine components with Chinese manufacturers. Kazakh energy specialists are also interested in their Chinese counterparts’ experience in energy conservation, improving efficiency and emissions treatment.
«We want to draw on our Chinese colleagues’ experience not only in efficient electricity generation but also in clean coal technologies. We want to see what solutions they can offer to improve the efficiency of our gas cleaning facilities and what we can adopt and implement. They are also interested in our capabilities and what they could adopt from us and implement at their facilities,» said Galymbek Autalipov, Managing Director for Production at Samruk-Energy JSC.
