By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
Around 20 percent of the Southern Gas Corridor’s capacity may be used for hydrogen transportation and intensive work is underway in this regard, Trend quoted SOCAR Turkey Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors Vagif Aliyev as saying.
“Turkey and Azerbaijan must comply with the European Green Deal, otherwise, taxes will be imposed on products. We need to carry out this transformation correctly. Like some other countries rich in energy resources, we attach special importance to the development of different fields,” he told Turkish media.
Vagif Aliyev pointed out that SOCAR is working on transformation from an oil and gas company to an integrated one.
The Southern Gas Corridor, which is comprised of Shah Deniz 2, the South Caucasus Pipeline Expansion, the Trans Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), and the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) became fully operational on December 31, 2020.
Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) AG confirmed on Dec. 31, 2020 the commencement of gas flows from Azerbaijan. The first gas has reached Greece and Bulgaria, via the Nea Mesimvria interconnection point with DESFA, as well as Italy, via the Melendugno interconnection point with SNAM Rete Gas (SRG).
