(MENAFN- AzerNews) Azerbaijan's natural gas export is growing, President Ilham
Aliyev said at the 9th Southern Gas Corridor Advisory Council
Ministerial Meeting and the 1st Green Energy Advisory Council
Ministerial Meeting in Baku, Azernews reports.
He noted that the gas export was around 19 billion cubic meters
in 2021, last year 22.6 and this year the country is expecting
24.5.
'So that means that the MOU with European Commission is being
successfully implemented. We not only increase the production, we
increase export and we expand the geography. And I'm sure that
today the countries, which are involved in this project, will see
and already see the benefit of it. And also it allows through
different other connections and potential inter-connectors to
connect many more countries in Europe, and with respect to the
resources of natural gas. I many times already said that we have
natural gas reserves, which will be enough for us and our partners
for at least 100 years,” the president added.
In 2023, Azerbaijan plans to increase gas supplies to Europe to
11bn cu.m. As of 2022, Azerbaijan has exported 9.3 billion cubic
meters of gas to Europe in the first 10 months and is expected to
supply 11.5bn cu. m. of gas to Europe by the end of the year.
