Kazakhstan is located in the hinterland of the Eurasian continent and is the largest landlocked country in the world in terms of land area. It is rich in natural resources such as oil, gas, and minerals, and is a must pass place on the ancient Silk Road.
On July 1st local time, the EPC project of the Kazakhstan Almaty No.2 (CHP-2) gas-fired power station, jointly contracted by Dongfang International, a subsidiary of Dongfang Electric Group, Shandong Electric Construction First Company, a subsidiary of China Power Construction Group, and Hebei Institute, officially started construction. This project is currently the largest clean energy power station in Kazakhstan and the first gas turbine combined cycle power station constructed by a Chinese enterprise in Kazakhstan.
Project conceptual design diagram
As a major livelihood project for energy conservation and emission reduction in Kazakhstan, the project will build a 600 MW gas turbine combined cycle cogeneration unit to replace the original coal-fired power plant. After completion, it will reduce carbon dioxide emissions by about 3 million tons (a decrease of about 56%), avoid air emissions of particulate matter and nitrogen oxides, and significantly improve urban air quality. It will effectively promote the development of clean energy in Kazakhstan, improve the local ecological environment, and promote the transformation of the local economic structure.
