To advance sustainable development initiatives, Kazakhstan's KazCenter of Housing and Communal Services recently engaged in discussions with the international company Ranhill from Malaysia, facilitated by Ecolos.
The meeting convened at the initiative of Ecolos, bringing together delegates from Ranhill, Ecolos, and KazCenter of Housing and Communal Services. Ranhill, renowned as Malaysia's largest publicly traded water treatment company, provided insights into its extensive operations spanning the water, construction, and energy sectors.
Ranhill's portfolio boasts prestigious projects such as the iconic Petronas Twin Towers in Kuala Lumpur, showcasing its expertise across 21 countries, including China, India, and the UAE.
The parties explored strategic avenues for cooperation, particularly focusing on wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) projects and initiatives aimed at decarbonizing infrastructure. KazCenter of Housing and Communal Services expressed its commitment to supporting Ranhill and Ecolos in WWTP projects by leveraging international and private investments.
Abutalip Abdurakhman, an independent director of Ranhill, emphasized the company's interest in collaborative efforts to decarbonize infrastructure and housing complexes. This sentiment was echoed by Adilkhan Umerbaev, Chairman of the Board of KazCenter of Housing and Communal Services, who proposed the development of a Decarbonization Center in Kazakhstan. The envisioned center would integrate modern energy-efficient technologies, digitalization, SCADA systems, renewable energy sources, and water recycling mechanisms.
This project holds the potential to serve as a flagship example of successful international cooperation in decarbonization, with the prospect of replication across Kazakhstan. The parties reached an agreement for KazCenter of Housing and Communal Services to draft technical specifications while Ranhill, in collaboration with Ecolos, would present a preliminary design.
The project aims to be implemented through the attraction of international and private investments, without reliance on budgetary funds.
