Biogas technologies play a key role in the development of sustainable energy, especially in agricultural countries with high volumes of organic waste. In the context of increasing climate and environmental challenges, the development of the biogas sector is becoming especially relevant to ensure energy security and reduce the burden on the environment. The purpose of the article is to identify the potential of using poultry manure as a feedstock for biogas production in Kazakhstan. An analysis of the efficiency of biogas plants is conducted based on statistical data on biomass volumes from poultry farms, agricultural enterprises, and household sources. The study describes the environmental and economic benefits of adopting biogas technologies, including the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and lower energy costs. Additionally, technical challenges and barriers to the widespread implementation of biogas systems are explored, such as high capital costs and the need for personnel training. Projections for 2025-2029 indicate steady growth in biogas production volumes, supported by government policies and the expansion of technological infrastructure. The article provides recommendations for enhancing the efficiency of biogas projects and improving the environmental situation in agricultural regions of Kazakhstan.
