Environment

Aspara Refinery is committed to responsible operations, prioritizing the minimization of environmental impact wherever possible. We adhere to stringent international environmental protection standards and actively pursue initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

We recognize our responsibility to society in preserving a favorable environmental balance within the regions where we operate. Environmental stewardship, the health of our workforce, and the well-being of local communities are integral to our mission and values.

Environmental Commitments

During the construction of new facilities and modernization of existing ones, we focus on reducing the environmental footprint of our operations. Environmental considerations are deeply integrated into our business management systems.

Our key environmental objectives include:

Ensuring the safety of construction and operational processes for facilities handling hydrocarbon production, processing, transportation, and storage.

Promoting the sustainable use of natural resources, minimizing waste and emissions, and maintaining safe, reliable technological operations.

Upgrading facilities with advanced technologies, materials, and equipment designed to reduce environmental impact.

Environmental Management Excellence

The effectiveness of our environmental management systems has earned high praise and recognition, with Aspara Refinery consistently rated among leading enterprises in environmental safety.

Compliance and Monitoring

We undergo annual environmental audits and inspections conducted by state authorities, ensuring strict adherence to Kazakhstan's environmental laws. Our most recent inspection confirmed full compliance with national regulations.

GHG and Emission Reduction Efforts

Our emissions primarily stem from fuel combustion in gas turbine units, boilers, process heaters, and flaring activities. We actively work to mitigate these emissions in line with established Environmental Emissions Permits. These permits define the thresholds and controls for air, land, and water emissions, as well as waste management measures.

In preparing for permits, we calculate maximum permissible emissions based on the operational load of equipment over the preceding years. Additionally, we implement strategies to prevent emissions, optimize waste quantities, and monitor compliance with established environmental thresholds.

At Aspara Refinery, we remain steadfast in our commitment to environmental protection, ensuring a sustainable future for our operations and the communities we serve.
