Kazakhstan is net energy exporter. Kazakhstan has oil, gas, coal and uranium reserves. Kazakhstan is a leading energy producer in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS). It is a major producer of oil, gas, and coal, as well as being the largest producer and exporter of uranium ore in the world. [1] Kazakhstan's oil and gas industry has been intensively developing after 1999.[2] China is one of the biggest investors in Kazakhstan's oil and gas industry.[3][4][5] Kazakhstan 2050 Strategy commits to 50% of energy consumption come from renewable or alternative sources.[6]
