Innovations Connected to Methanol in the Service of Blue Economy

Abstract The model of Blue Economy by G. Pauli is inspired by nature. Its main task is to develop innovative methods based on the use of available resources and the use of nature-based solutions. The principle of Blue Economy requires close cooperation of research and development and business activities; and it seeks implementation options in the structure of local economies. Based on the theory known as ‘blue economy’, in order to overcome certain problems of mankind – for example, energy production and consumption –, we must recognize and use some methods given to us by nature. This may be provided to us by new innovations that think according to system theory, that is, occupy the exceptionally effective self-regulating processes of nature in the economy. Methanol may play a key role in succeeding sustainability regarding nature, economy and society. Methanol economy can contribute to reducing human impacts on Earth’s climate by reversing atmospheric carbon dioxide, and it provides the opportunity to get rid of our dependence on dwindling oil and gas resources.

Offshore Oil

The importance of the blue economy is growing. A key element of this is the transition from fossil-based energy to greener alternatives such as offshore wind, marine renewables and other sources of energy. The ocean has been a source of food for millennia but newer, more innovative methods, of offshore cultivation are being developed and deployed. The engineering experience gained in offshore oil and gas industry is finding application in these examples of engineering for the blue economy. The trends are outlined together with the challenges faced by the engineering community.

Northwest Region

At present, transportation of the oil and gas resources in our country relies mainly on long-distance buried pipeline; pipe is commonly steel spiral welded pipe. The long-distance pipeline adopts buried way, crossing section of the complex terrain. Different soil properties, and soil have different degree and strong corrosion to the pipe, and the leakage point also is not easy to be found in time, as well as the underground pipeline maintenance needs a large number of earthwork, more hard than the construction of new line. Therefore, long-term, safe and steady operation is the main task of long-distance pipeline. How to prevent the corrosion of buried pipeline damage has long been an important part of pipeline engineering.

Oil And Gas Sector

The article discusses the role of the oil and gas sector in the foreign policy of the Republic of Kazakhstan. It is known that the oil industry of Kazakhstan is one of the main sectors of the economy of Kazakhstan. The economic, and therefore social development of the country as a whole depends on the export of this mineral. The article analyzes the main large oil fields such as Tengiz, Kashagan, Karachaganak, Uzen, Zhetybai, Zhanazhol, Kalamkas, Kenkiyak, Karazhanbas, Kumkol, Northern Buzachi and others, which are the most attractive investment sectors for foreign investors. The article also shows the proportionality of the production and consumption of oil and gas resources in the republic, as well as the dynamics of their development from the period of independence to the present. According to some reports, the production of the so-called "liquid currency" exceeds its consumption in the republic. According to Kazakhstan experts, oil production in Kazakhstan will continue to grow in subsequent years, which will undoubtedly attract more investors, especially in the oil and gas sector. Along with this, the negative side of the resource is considered in the work, for example, oil production in the region can destroy its ecosystem and have a negative impact on the environment as a whole. Thus, the article is devoted to the most urgent issues in Kazakhstan and its purpose is to show what role the oil and gas resource plays in the foreign policy of Kazakhstan as a whole.
