How much CO2 is stored in Kazakhstan?

In Kazakhstan, CO 2 produced from Ammonia production accounts for only 0.2% (Fig. 4). Seven storage sinks from the CCS hubs are considered for CO 2 storage. The Precaspian basin, with a potential total effective storage of 602 Gt CO 2 (Abuov et al., Dec. 2020), shares three storage sinks for Atyrau, Oral, and Aktobe CCS hubs.
