Deadline: 3 December 2025
The Climate & Clean Air Coalition (CCAC) invites Expressions of Interest to advance the mitigation of short-lived climate pollutants within the coal mining sector of Kazakhstan.
This call focuses on strengthening capacity, influencing policy, and accelerating actionable strategies designed to curb methane and other harmful emissions emanating from coal extraction and processing. The estimated project cost is $200,000, providing significant support for the implementation of impactful initiatives.
Applicants will be part of a transformative effort that positions Kazakhstan at the forefront of cleaner coal-sector practices, merging environmental urgency with opportunities for innovation, collaboration, and long-term impact. The work envisaged ranges from research and diagnostics to technology deployment and policy reform, making it ideal for organizations capable of driving systemic change rather than isolated interventions.
Eligible participants include research institutions, NGOs, public-private coal-sector partners, and early-stage enterprises with the expertise and tools to engage in this important challenge. Selected participants will help develop actionable roadmaps, strengthen institutional frameworks, and embed new mitigation pathways within the coal mining value chain.
For those chosen, the initiative offers a platform not only to design and implement solutions but also to shape national climate commitments and sectoral practices in Kazakhstan. By participating, innovators will contribute to redefining how a resource-based economy aligns its coal production with global methane reduction goals, unlocking new opportunities for policy innovation, financing, and technology adoption.
This call represents a gateway to contributing to Kazakhstan’s transition pathway—from traditional coal-emission dependence toward a cleaner, more sustainable future built on monitored and accountable mining practices. Engaging in this opportunity allows entities to be part of the solution at a pivotal moment in the country’s climate and industrial transformation.
