WATER POLICY AND ENERGY TRANSITION OF KAZAKHSTAN: POTENTIAL OF THE HYRASIA ONE PROJECT

Abstract

Kazakhstan, being the largest landlocked country in the world, faces challenges with water security. The country’s geographical location makes it dependent on its neighbors for water resources. Kazakhstan’s water policy is still in the development stage, and there are still gaps and problems that need to be addressed. Another important area for Kazakhstan is the energy transition, which has both economic and energy significance. The Hyrasia One project, a joint initiative of Kazakhstan, Germany, and China, can be a good solution in this context. The article examines the potential of the project, its ability to become a stepping-stone to international cooperation, a tool for energy sustainability, and an example of Kazakhstan’s capabilities in the field of water efficiency and regulation. The article discusses the risks and benefits that this particular project will bring to Kazakhstan and Central Asia in the economic, energy, and diplomatic sectors.
