Tender Details

TheInternational Finance Corporation (IFC) is seeking expressions of interest fromqualified consultants (firm) to develop a model for delivering a sustainable, affordable, and reliable heating and cooling system in Kazakhstan using 5thGeneration Networked Ground Source Heat Pumps (NGSHP) technology.A. BackgroundDistrict heating systems in Kazakhstan, are outdated, often gas or coal-fired, and need upgrading. Gas supplies are running low, making new gas heatingsystems impractical. This has led to unsafe, unreliable, and expensivealternative heating methods. Regulatory and operational deficiencies furtherexacerbate the inefficiency of the district heating sector. Governments areinitiating programs to modernize the district heating sector, improve energyefficiency, and explore renewable energy sources.Geothermaltechnologies range from deep geothermal for electricity generation to shallowsystems using ground source heat pumps (GHP) for heating and cooling. Shallowgeothermal, deployable almost anywhere, offers efficient heating and coolingwithout relying on critical metals. When connected on a shared thermal network, GHPs can provide even greater efficiency. Geothermal heating is considered themost energy-efficient and environmentally safe by the U.S. EnvironmentalProtection Agency. With about 50% of global energy used for heating andcooling, shallow geothermal systems hold significant potential fordecarbonization. They are being scaled up in regions like the US, EU, China, and Turkey but are less common in the Middle East and Central Asia.Kazakhstanrelies heavily on individual gas boilers for heating in residential and publicbuildings, particularly in areas without access to centralized district heatingsystems. Centralized district heating systems are prevalent in urban centerslike Almaty, Astana, and Karaganda, primarily based on Soviet-erainfrastructure.In major cities, district heating systems supply heat and hot water to a significant portion ofthe population.
