(MENAFN- Trend News Agency) BAKU, Azerbaijan, March 1. Azerbaijani gas and
the Caspian Basin play a crucial role in the common future,
Albanian Prime Minister Edi Rama said at the 10th Southern Gas
Corridor Advisory Council Ministerial Meeting and the 2nd Green
Energy Advisory Council Ministerial Meeting held today in Baku,
Trend reports.
"The Southern Gas Corridor will undoubtedly continue to remain
one of the unique and stable sources of natural gas transported by
pipeline to the European Union. Considering that the share of gas
transported to Europe from Russia will decrease from 40 to eight
percent and will soon be zero, and with the current relevance of
ecological and decarbonization issues, Azerbaijani gas and the
Caspian Basin play a crucial role in our shared future," he
noted.
"Today, we witness how the Southern Gas Corridor has changed the
lives of many, and this project has made Europe even safer," added
Rama.
The 10th meeting of the Advisory Council on the Southern Gas
Corridor was held on March 1, 2023. This meeting encompassed
discussions on the expansion of the SGC and the inclusion of new
participating countries, as well as initiatives related to green
energy projects. A dedicated session will address these green
energy projects alongside the negotiation of significant
agreements.
Since December 2020, the Southern Gas Corridor has operated at
full capacity, delivering gas to Italy (over nine billion cubic
meters per year), Greece, and Bulgaria (one billion cubic meters
per year each).
