In Pavlodar, CASIB met with the deputy governor of the region, Saken Shayakhmetov, and the heads of the departments to learn about current ecological issues and projects in the area. Furthermore, talks were held with Toraighyrov University and the Innovative University of Eurasia to discuss current projects and project ideas on the CLIENT topic areas and beyond for possible follow-up measures.
During a tour of the Aluminum Plant in Pavlodar with the plant department for ecology, CASIB presented ideas to improve air filtration systems and possibilities for slag processing. These ideas are particularly interesting for the preparation of the next funding measures and can be considered here.
