About $650 billion must be invested in low-carbon technologies to achieve carbon neutrality in Kazakhstan, Minister of Ecology, Geology and Natural Resources of Kazakhstan Serikkali Brekeshev said, Trend reports.
The minister made the remark at a briefing in the Central Communications Service, operating under the President of Kazakhstan.
The minister also named the sectors requiring the largest volume of investments in 40 years - electricity and heat production $305 billion, transport $167 billion, mining and processing industry $65 billion, housing and communal services $57 billion, agriculture $49 billion.
At the same time, according to the estimates of the investment model in the sector of coal, oil and gas production will decline, due to a decrease in demand for these resources in the long term.
