Abstract
Purpose of the research – analyze the development of hydrocarbon and renewable energy sources in Kazakhstan and identify the potential for energy development in Kazakhstan. Understand the strategies of Kazakhstan and China on the development of energy policy and based on comparison determine the direction of future cooperation between the two countries. Methodology – theoretical and comparative analysis methods were used in the research work. Using theoretical analysis to explore the theoretical basis of energy policy in order to better understand its relevance and implications. The method of comparative analysis helps us to better understand the similarities and differences in the environmental initiatives of the "Green Bridge" and "Green Silk Road", as well as to learn the complexities of the research subject. Originality / value – under the "One Belt and One Road" initiative, energy cooperation is a very important element, and the active development of sustainable energy cooperation between Kazakhstan and China has positive implications and recommendations for the realization of the energy transition in both countries. Findings – the study of the oil and gas industry and the development of renewable energy in Kazakhstan showed that there is a great potential for the development and political support of both traditional and renewable energy in Kazakhstan. Sustainable energy cooperation requires the integration of environmental initiatives of both countries, the establishment of open channels of information and the development of energy projects.
