00:30reaching carbon neutrality by 2060,
00:32for which it plans to build nuclear power plants
00:35and increase the share of renewable energy.
00:37Para el economía de la Kazajstán,
00:39es una gran desafío,
00:41porque, como se sabe,
00:43en el momento en el momento,
00:45la generación de gas en el país es 70%.
00:49Para el país, que dependía de las tarifas
00:52de la generación de la generación de gas en la generación,
00:55es un gran desafío.
00:56There are already 156 renewable energy projects
01:00operating in Kazajstán,
01:02with nine more planned to launch this year.
01:04Overall, the country plans to bring renewable energy share
01:07in the country's energy balance
01:08to 15% by 2030 and to 50 by 2050.
01:26The main renewable energy sources in Kazajstán
01:32are wind and sun.
01:33Depending on the region,
01:34it is sunny for 120 to 260 days a year.
01:39At the same time,
01:4060% of the country have wind power
01:42above 6 meters per second,
01:44including this wind power plant
01:45located two hours from Astana.
01:47The 22 turbines at the power plant
01:59generate electricity throughout the year
02:01with little interruption.
02:02The station workers say
02:03there are only about two to three weeks
02:05a year without wind.
02:06Unfortunately,
02:10due to the changeable nature
02:11of renewable energy sources,
02:13countries have to diversify.
02:15With the carbon neutrality in mind,
02:17Kazajstán decided to build not one,
02:19but three nuclear power plants
02:21to address the increasing energy demand
02:23and offset the wearing down
02:24of current infrastructure.
02:25The energy expert notes
02:48that Kazakhstan is not unfamiliar
02:49with the nuclear industry.
02:51From 1973 till 1999,
02:54the country had a fast neutron reactor
02:57supplying electricity
02:58to the western city of Ahtau.
02:59The country also produces
03:00over 40% of the global uranium.
03:03Kazajstán is the world's
03:04leading uranium producer.
03:06Roughly one in every three reactors
03:08in the world
03:09is supplied with the country's uranium.
03:11It powers facilities in India,
03:13China, Australia,
03:15France, Canada
03:16and many more.
03:17This is the central
03:18Moenkum uranium mining site
03:20of the Kazatanprom National Company.
03:22The company controls
03:23all of the uranium exploration
03:25in Kazakhstan
03:25and operates 14 mining enterprises,
03:2812 of which are in the form
03:29of joint ventures.
03:3145 to 50% of our experts
03:33go to Asian market.
03:3725 to 30%, on average,
03:40very rough numbers,
03:41is Americas.
03:42And 25 to 30%, again,
03:45depending on the year,
03:47is European market.
03:48Kazakhstan uses
03:49in-situ recovery method,
03:51which is more cost-efficient
03:52and has a lower
03:53environmental footprint.
03:54The extraction starts
03:55with drilling wells
03:56deep into the ground.
03:57The first well injects
03:59uranium ore
03:59with sulfuric acid solution,
04:01which dissolves
04:02the rock ore.
04:03At the processing plant,
04:20the uranium is extracted
04:22from the solution
04:22through processes
04:23called sorption and desorption.
04:25This mine has more than
04:3812,000 tons of uranium,
04:41which is a small portion
04:42of the 900,000 tons
04:43of uranium resources
04:44that the Kazakh land hides.
04:47With such reserves,
04:48the three future power plants
04:49will have plenty of fuel
04:51to not only satisfy
04:52the country's energy demand
04:54but also export energy.
