The government of Kazakhstan has officially signed a contract with China Eastern Hope Group to finalize cooperation in the construction and operation of Astana Ecological Park. The project focuses on solid waste treatment and clean energy production, which is an important achievement of China Kazakhstan green economic and trade cooperation. It accurately aligns with Kazakhstan's national development strategy of energy transformation and ecological governance, and has significant ecological value and economic benefits.

Clear project details

The signing ceremony was jointly presided over by Gabidula Ospan Kulov, Chairman of the Investment Committee of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of Oriental Hope Group. The cooperation ceremony was successfully held.

Astana Ecological Park is expected to be officially put into operation in the second half of 2029. The first phase of the project focuses on waste disposal and clean energy production business, with a daily processing capacity of 1500 tons of various types of waste and a synchronous power production capacity of 50 megawatts. In terms of employment promotion, the first phase of the project construction can provide 250 temporary employment positions, and after full operation, it will stably provide 125 long-term employment positions, helping to increase local employment and income. Both parties stated that the project will adopt modern environmental protection technologies, strictly adhere to international ecological and environmental standards, and strive to create a benchmark demonstration project for sustainable development.

Wide space for green cooperation

Currently, Kazakhstan is making every effort to promote energy structure upgrading and ecological environment governance. More than 80% of the country's electricity supply relies on fossil fuels, and there is a high pressure on industrial pollutant emissions. There is an urgent need for the harmless treatment of waste and the supply of clean energy. At present, Kazakhstan has elevated the development of renewable energy to a national core strategy, and plans to increase the proportion of renewable energy generation to 15% by 2030. The Astana Ecological Park project is highly compatible with Kazakhstan's concept of green economic transformation and development. It can effectively solve the problem of urban waste disposal, fill the gap in clean energy supply, and continue to create employment opportunities, promoting the optimization of local industrial structure and diversified economic development.

Deepen the green collaboration between China and Kazakhstan

As a leading domestic environmental energy enterprise, Dongfang Hope Group's landing of the Astana Ecological Park project is a crucial step for the company to deepen its cultivation in the Central Asian market and promote international layout.

The project relies on the mature technological reserves and financial advantages of the enterprise, combined with favorable policy support from Kazakhstan, which not only helps improve the local ecological infrastructure system and steadily achieve green development goals, but also promotes China's advanced environmental protection technology and governance experience to go abroad. This cooperation further consolidates the foundation of cooperation between China and Kazakhstan in the fields of green energy and ecological governance, achieving mutual benefit and win-win results for both countries, and creating high-quality demonstration models for sustainable development in Central Asia.Editor/Gong Ziwei
