BAKU. Azerbaijan. May 25. Slovakia has
expertise in using geothermal energy and sees opportunities to
utilize its potential in Karabakh, Slovakian Ambassador to
Azerbaijan Milan Lajčiak told Trend.
He pointed out that there opportunities for energy cooperation
between Slovakia and Azerbaijan in green technologies.
'They lie mostly in Azerbaijan´s plan of transition to green
energy and possible hydrogen transportation,' the envoy
explained.
In terms of gas and crude oil, Lajčiak noted that Slovakia
imports practically all volumes from Russia and remains also the
biggest transit country of the Russian gas to Europe.
'For illustration, the total capacity of the Slovak transit gas
system is over 100 bcm per year. We perceive Azerbaijan as an
important gas producer and also a potential transit country for gas
produced by other Caspian countries. Slovakia supports the supply
of Azerbaijani gas to European markets. The Southern Gas Corridor
belongs to the priority energy projects of the European Union and
we will consider how to be engaged in cooperating in this filed to
get gas to Slovakia,' said the ambassador.
