Abstract:

This thesis explores the transition of resource-based economies to renewable energy sources, with a specific case study of Kazakhstan. The research is to comprehend the difficulties and possibilities linked to the changeover, as well as the policies and measures implemented to support it. The research finds that Kazakhstan, as a resource-based economy heavily dependent on fossil fuels, faces significant challenges in transitioning to renewable energy. The thesis explores the current state of the country's energy sector, including its dependence on fossil fuels and the potential for growth in renewable energy. The paper emphasizes the crucial role of government policies, incentives, and international cooperation in supporting the transition to renewable energy. The study concludes that while the transition to renewable energy in Kazakhstan is ongoing, it is essential for the country to continue investing in and promoting the development of renewable energy sources to achieve a sustainable energy system. This paper aims to investigate the potential of renewable resources in Kazakhstan and the impact of transitioning to these resources on the country's economy. Overall, the study provides an overview of the current state of the energy sector in Kazakhstan and the potential for transition to renewable energy sources.
