Azerbaijan will increase gas exports to Europe by 40%.

Azerbaijani gas supplies to Europe will increase by 40% to 11.5 billion cubic meters this year, the country’s president, Ilham Aliyev, said. According to Aliyev, the country will export 22 billion cubic meters of gas in 2022, of which 11.5 billion cubic meters will go to Europe. In comparison, in 2021 Azerbaijan supplied Europe with 8.2 billion cubic meters. Aliyev also said that following the establishment of new agreements with the EU, Azerbaijan plans to at least double gas exports to Europe by 2027. To this end, Baku has already begun consulting with partners regarding the expansion of the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) to 32 billion cubic meters of gas per year and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) to 20 billion cubic meters of gas per year.
