To support these initiatives, Turkmenistan is improving energy interconnectivity with neighbors and expanding its transmission network into Europe and South Asia. Key projects include the Trans-Caspian Pipeline (TCP) and the Turkmenistan-Afghanistan-Pakistan-India (TAPI) gas pipeline.
To meet its climate commitments under the Paris Agreement and the Global Methane Pledge, Turkmenistan must enhance energy efficiency, reduce methane emissions, and invest in renewable energy. Addressing inefficiencies in the oil and gas sectors is crucial, as outdated infrastructure leads to significant methane leaks.
Average Theoretical Solar Potential: 4.4 kWh/m2, roughly 655 GW of additional capacity. Potential: Turkmenistan, with the world's fourth-largest natural gas reserves, is strategically positioned for hydrogen energy development, as 68% of global hydrogen production is derived from natural gas, making it the most cost-effective method.
The low-carbon energy transition in Turkmenistan is stalled due to the dominance of fossil fuels, which crowd out low-carbon alternatives. Key factors include: Abundant fossil fuel reserves lead to low-cost energy production that meets domestic demand, limiting the market for low-carbon options.
