Decarbonisation Strategies for Central Asia's Mining Sector
Central Asian countries are developing greenhouse gas reduction strategies as part of the Paris Agreement commitments. Key drivers for decarbonisation include customer demands, regulatory pressures, and potential cost savings.

Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyz Republic, and Tajikistan are focusing on reducing greenhouse gas emissions through enhanced renewable energy and energy efficiency measures. A five-step strategy for mining companies includes establishing an emissions baseline, creating a decarbonisation roadmap, implementing the plan, and monitoring results.
Specific measures include optimizing mine ventilation, improving energy efficiency in operations, and utilizing carbon capture technology. The success of these initiatives may hinge on collaboration, investment in proven technologies, and alignment with customer sustainability goals. An integrated approach to decarbonisation across energy, water, and waste management could potentially lower capital expenditures and enhance overall efficiency.
