Projects
Priority to Energy Efficiency
In the last decades, it is marked a stable and steady rise in the prices on energy resources in the world. The prices rise on oil, gas and electric power. Such situation is caused by the lack of energy resources and their non-renewable ability combined with the constantly complicating methods of their production.
The second factor impacting on the rise in the prices on energy resources is the growth of industrial production, especially in China and on the Asian markets that demands the new volumes of resources. And, finally, the third factor is connected with deterioration of environmental conditions due to the use of these resources in receiving electric power and other types of energy.

Legislation
Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan

With the introduction in 1999, and then in 2004 and 2005, of amendments to the Law "On Oil", dated 28 June 1995, associated gas flaring was prohibited, except for a few cases mentioned in the Law.
