Green Energy: the future we can create!
On March 4, 2025, the senior lecturer of the Department of Foreign Philology and Translation studies, Azimbayeva I. K. with the 1st year students of "Foreign Philology (Western languages)" major held a demo lesson on the topic: "Green Energy: the future we can create" within the framework of "SDG 7: “Clean and affordable energy" . During the lesson, the students actively participated in the discussion of the topic and prepared reports to explain the different sources of renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro), their benefits and environmental impact. During the discussion, they actively shared many ideas on how to create a healthy and sustainable environment.
They discussed how each of them can reduce our energy consumption, carbon emissions and what should be done at the city and national level to switch to renewable energy sources and emphasised the importance of these issues in the context of global climate change and our responsibility to conserve natural resources. Students also highlighted the importance of using clean energy sources. In the last three years, about 63 offset RES projects have been approved by the state, with a total reduction of about 4 million tonnes of CO2. For example, ‘Astana EXPO-2017 Wind Power Plant’ with a total reduction of 160,000 tonnes of CO2; ‘Wind Power Plant “Astana EXPO-2017” with a total reduction of 160,000 tonnes of CO2; ‘Wind power plants in Ereimentau’ - 120 thousand tonnes of CO2; ‘Solar power plant “Astana EXPO-2017” with a total reduction of 160 thousand tonnes of CO2; ‘Solar power plant “Shu” with a capacity of 100 MW’; ‘Solar power plant “Shu” with a capacity of 100 MW’ with a total reduction of 160 thousand tonnes of CO2 - 150 thousand tonnes of CO2 per year. The students gained an in-depth understanding of the importance of transition to sustainable and renewable energy sources. Concrete proposals were made to reduce energy consumption and introduce alternative energy sources at the local level. The students realized their role in the creation of a sustainable environment and the importance of a sustainable and renewable energy system.
