Affordable and clean energy
Advancing sustainable energy solutions and improving energy efficiency are integral to Kh. Dosmukhamedov Atyrau University’s implementation of Sustainable Development Goal 7: Affordable and Clean Energy. The university develops academic programs and research initiatives focused on renewable energy sources, energy-saving technologies, and environmentally friendly innovations. Particular emphasis is placed on responsible energy use within the context of an oil and gas producing region. Energy-efficiency measures are introduced across campus facilities to reduce electricity consumption and promote responsible energy behavior among students and staff. Through these efforts, the university supports the transition to green energy and contributes to a more sustainable future.

  • Report on renewable energy implementation (2017–2026)
    Since 2017, Atyrau University named after Kh. Dosmukhamedov has been implementing a systematic approach to integrating renewable energy into campus infrastructure as part of its sustainability and green campus policy. The main objectives include improving energy efficiency, reducing carbon emissions, and promoting sustainable energy practices. In 2017, the Solar Gazebo 360 project was launched. The facility is equipped with a solar tracking system and serves as a recreational and charging area for students and staff. The average electricity generation reaches up to 2 kWh per day, reducing dependence on centralized electricity supply. In 2017, the Solar Wind Tree installation was introduced, enabling simultaneous solar and wind energy generation. The system produces up to 6 kWh per day and is used for lighting and powering public spaces on campus. Between 2017 and 2026, the university has: integrated green technologies into campus infrastructure; created an educational and practical platform for sustainable energy; improved environmental awareness among students and staff. The university plans to further expand renewable energy projects and increase energy efficiency in the coming years.
