Condor Energies, a Canadian energy transition company, has secured its second natural gas allocation from Kazakhstan’s state gas distribution authority. This allocation will support Condor’s planned modular Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) production facility near Kuryk Port on the Caspian Sea.
The Kuryk LNG facility is expected to produce 565,000 liters of diesel-equivalent fuel per day, enough to power approximately 155 rail locomotives. When combined with output from Condor’s Alga LNG facility, the company’s total daily LNG production will exceed 1 million liters of diesel-equivalent fuel. This initiative will significantly reduce carbon emissions, with the impact equivalent to taking more than 58,000 cars off the road annually.
Condor has secured 16 hectares of industrial land for the Kuryk facility and a 5 MWh electricity allocation to power its operations. The natural gas will be sourced from a nearby pipeline, ensuring efficient and reliable production.
Kazakhstan, emerging as a key logistics hub, is making significant investments in transportation infrastructure, and LNG is set to play a pivotal role in fueling the country’s rail and freight industries. Condor’s LNG production will serve locomotives, transport trucks, and marine vessels operating between Kazakhstan, China, and the Caspian Sea.
Don Streu, President and CEO of Condor, expressed his appreciation for the gas allocation, reaffirming the company’s commitment to delivering sustainable LNG solutions for Kazakhstan’s growing transportation sector. He emphasized Condor’s 17-year investment in the country and its ongoing efforts to reduce emissions, lower operating costs, and improve infrastructure.
