BAKU, Azerbaijan, June 2. The long-term policy of the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic (SOCAR) is aimed at reducing hydrocarbon emissions, SOCAR Vice President for HR, IT, and regulations Khalik Mammadov said at 27th Energy Forum in Baku, Trend reports.
"Azerbaijan is taking serious steps towards energy transformation," Mammadov said.
According to him, CO2 emissions have already been halved as a result of the application of advanced technologies. However, moving towards zero emissions requires a more diligent approach.
