The capacity of three oil refineries will be increased in Kazakhstan. Energy Minister Arlan Akanzhanov presented a new concept for the development of local oil refining. Large-scale modernization will eliminate supply disruptions and improve fuel quality to the K-5 standard. The Ministry of Energy's main plans: Increasing processing: The capacity of three existing plants is planned to expand from 18 million to 27.7 million tons. A medium-volume refinery: in two years, a plant with a capacity of 2 million tons per year will be built in the Aktobe area. The venture will not only supply the local market, but will also organize the export of gasoline and aviation fuel to Central Asia. Another plant: the issue of building a completely new refinery, which is not included in the declared 27.7 million tons, was also examined. The site for its location is now actively selected.
