(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, Dec.20. Increasing the
capacity of the Trans Anatolian Natural gas Pipeline (TANAP)
requires a consensus among stakeholders, said Turkiye's minister of
energy and natural resources Fatih Donmez during a briefing, Trend
reports via DHA.
He expressed hope that the pipeline's capacity will rise from 16
billion cubic meters to 32 billion cubic meters per year.
“Turkiye will not only cover its own energy needs, but also
support the transportation of energy products to Europe, in
particular, the Southeast Europe,” added the minister.
Donmez pointed out that one of the important tasks is to turn
Turkiye into an energy trading center.
Export of Azerbaijani gas to Europe from January through
November 2022 amounted to 10.3 billion cubic meters. Gas exports to
Türkiye in the reporting period totaled 7.6 billion cubic meters
(including 5.2 billion cubic meters through Trans-Anatolian Natural
Gas Pipeline), and the exports to Georgia – 2.2 billion cubic
meters.
Total gas exports from Azerbaijan over the first 11 months of
this year grew by 19 percent compared to the same period of 2021.
In total, 20.1 billion cubic meters of gas were exported from
Azerbaijan from January through November 2022.
