Astana LNG Plant

Project Description:The Astana LNG Plant is a planned liquefied natural gas facility located in the industrial zone of Astana, Kazakhstan. The first phase of the project aims to produce 75,000 tonnes of LNG per year, with commissioning scheduled for 2027. The plant will source feedstock from the Saryarka gas trunkline and will include a storage hub to manage seasonal demand fluctuations. A second phase is planned to increase production capacity to 100,000 tonnes per year, contingent upon the completion of the second string of the Beineu-Bozoi-Shymkent gas pipeline. The project also encompasses the development of cryogenic filling stations and facilities for converting vehicles to LNG. This initiative supports Kazakhstan's strategy to enhance domestic gas processing and reduce reliance on diesel fuel.
