Best Available Techniques (BAT) are used and planned sectoral technologies, techniques and equipment that provide organizational and management measures aimed at reducing the level of negative environmental impact of economic activities up to the target environmental quality indicators.
According to the Environmental Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan, from 1 January 2025, Category I facilities are required to obtain comprehensive environmental permits (CEPs) based on the application of BAT and compliance of facilities with the emission levels specified in BAT reference documents.
When implementing BAT, industry is exempted from paying environmental tax payments on emissions, and for enterprises that do not switch to CEP, environmental payments will be gradually increased by 2, 4 and 8 times.
In this regard, the Centre is developing BAT reference documents. BAT Handbooks developed in the period from 2021 to 2023 fully cover the activities of large enterprises included in the TOP-50
Reference books on BAT, approved by the Decree of the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan |
