Utilization and neutralization of waste

Trash owners are required by the Republic of Kazakhstan’s Environmental Code to either guarantee their waste management by transferring their waste to commercial companies that undertake waste management operations or manage their rubbish securely on their own. On August 6, 2019, the Ministry of Ecology, Geology, and Natural Resources of the Republic of Kazakhstan and LLP West Gas Energy resigned their agreement of understanding on environmental protection, with updated amounts for 2020–2024. Reducing and eventually eliminating contaminated soil and waste disposal is the aim. As per the terms specified in the Memorandum, efforts are underway to dispose of and process historical waste by means of biological reclamation of soil contaminated with oil and oil products, as well as the utilization of an energy-storing additive that is based on composite materials containing humate.

The Company constantly creates strategies for overseeing environmental activities and allocates the necessary funds for environmental protection, specifically for environmental costs. These include taxes paid for emissions required by regulations, costs associated with environmental protection measures, insurance, costs associated with environmental compensation measures, investments made in mitigating environmental impacts, etc. The dynamics of increasing compensation for emissions into the atmosphere were not observed during the years 2018 to 2020.
