KazTransOil, understanding the extent of its influence on energy consumption at the national level, in order to contribute to sustainable development, was one of the first entities in the state energy register of the Republic of Kazakhstan to implement an energy management system in 2015 that complies with the requirements of the international standard ISO 50001:2011 - Energy management systems. Requirements and guidance for use, and received a Certificate of Conformity from SGS ITALIA, an international certification body.
The main objective of implementing and ensuring the functioning of an energy management system in accordance with the international standard ISO 50001 is to provide KazTransOil JSC with structured guidance on optimizing the process of energy resource consumption and systematic management of this process.
In accordance with the requirements of ISO 50001, KazTransOil JSC has developed and approved an Energy Policy, which sets out the company's commitments to continuously improve energy performance, reduce energy intensity, and implement energy-saving practices and energy-efficient behavior in its activities. In addition, the company has developed internal documents on energy planning and the definition of energy efficiency indicators, energy analysis, and analysis methodologies.
In accordance with the requirements of internal documents, KazTransOil JSC sets annual energy targets for the Company and energy objectives for energy consumption facilities, identifies areas of significant energy consumption, conducts current and previous analyses of energy resource consumption, analyzes the context of the Company, the needs and expectations of stakeholders in terms of the functioning of the energy management system, and assesses compliance with legislative and other requirements in the field of energy conservation and energy efficiency improvement.
The implementation and effective functioning of the energy management system has enabled KazTransOil JSC to fulfill the commitments made in its Energy Policy, take the necessary steps to improve energy efficiency, and demonstrate the compliance of the energy management system with the requirements of legislative and internal documents, as well as the requirements of ISO 50001 during certification and inspection (supervisory) audits conducted by certification bodies.
In 2024, in accordance with the requirements of the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan on energy conservation and energy efficiency improvement at the facilities of KazTransOil JSC, and based on the results of the energy audit, an Action Plan for Energy Saving and Energy Efficiency Improvement at KazTransOil JSC for 2025-2029 was developed and approved.
In 2025, following a certification audit, KazTransOil JSC confirmed that its energy management system complies with the requirements of the international standard ISO 50001:2018 and received a Certificate of Conformity from the international certification body TÜV AUSTRIA for a three-year period.
Over ten years since the introduction of the energy management system at KazTransOil JSC, the specific electricity consumption per tonne of oil transported has been reduced by 11.5% (saving more than 38 million kWh), and specific gas consumption per ton of oil transported via «hot» oil pipelines has been reduced by 29% (saving approximately 50 million cubic meters).
