Despite Azerbaijan's vast fossil fuel reserves, which could meet
its needs for centuries, the country is swiftly transitioning to
green energy.
This is highlighted in a recent "Times of Oman" article titled
"Azerbaijan swiftly moving towards green energy transition,"
Azernews reports.
The article emphasizes Azerbaijan's significant progress in
reducing fossil fuel dependence, with notable advancements in wind,
solar, and green hydrogen energy. It outlines the country's
commitment to boosting its renewable energy capacity as part of its
strategy to cut greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2050.
Additionally, Azerbaijan aims to increase the share of renewable
energy sources in its energy mix to 30% by 2030 while diversifying
its energy system.
In preparation for COP29, scheduled for November, media
representatives were invited to Azerbaijan to tour key energy
facilities. These included the 230 MW "Garadagh" solar power plant,
Azerbaijan's first independent solar project with foreign
investment, and the Baku solid household waste incineration plant
in Balakhani.
The visit also featured the Baku Olympic Stadium, where COP29
will be held. The article describes the stadium not just as a venue
for sports and entertainment, but as a symbol of Azerbaijan's
capability to host major international events. Opened on March 18,
2015, the Baku Olympic Stadium is recognized as one of the region's
largest and most modern sports facilities, contributing to the
growth of sports, culture, and tourism in Azerbaijan.
