October 11, Fineko/abc.az. The creation of green energy zones in Karabakh will be the basis for transition to zero emissions,

ABC.AZ reports, quoting Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov as saying this at a panel meeting in Baku within the Preliminary Conference of the Parties on Climate Change (Pre-COP29).

He noted that there are plans to implement 7 gigawatts of green energy by 2030:

“70% of them will be exported. These green energy corridors will make important contribution to transition of green energy across a wider geography - from Central Asia to Europe. As the first country in the region to adopt COP29, Azerbaijan has an ambitious program to achieve balanced results at COP29, including a new agreement and the implementation of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement. The COP-29 chairmanship will focus on significantly increasing financial flows, while paving the way for the rapid removal of barriers. Besides the fact that Azerbaijan is leading the process of accelerating the energy transition in the world, it is also carrying out large-scale work.”
