TANAP sees decrease in GHG emissions

[ad_1] BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 5. The whole annual greenhouse fuel (GHG) emissions (Scope 1 + Scope 2) from the Trans Anatolian Pure Gasoline Pipeline’s (TANAP) operations in 2024 had been calculated as 336,800.85 tCO2eq (tonnes of CO2-equivalent), Development reviews citing TANAP consortium’s information.

"This represents a 4.97% lower in comparison with the 2023 emissions of 354,408.91 tCO2eq. Equally, GHG emissions depth (greenhouse gases emitted per unit of transmitted pure fuel) (tCO22eq) decreased by 6.45% in 2024 in comparison with the earlier 12 months. Moreover, methane per unit of transmitted pure fuel (tCH₄) dropped considerably by 35.68% in comparison with 2023," reads the report.

The breakdown of TANAP’s 2024 GHG Emissions signifies that stationary combustion is the first emission supply, accounting for 84.92% of the entire. That is adopted by vent emissions at 8.81%, whereas emissions ensuing from electrical energy consumption characterize 4.50% of the entire. Emissions from transportation and fugitive sources contribute comparatively minor shares to the general GHG emissions.

TANAP transports fuel from Stage 2 of Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz discipline from the Georgian-Turkish border to Türkiye’s western border. The whole price of TANAP turned out to be decrease than $7 billion.

The preliminary capability of TANAP is 16 billion cubic meters of fuel per 12 months, with the opportunity of increasing to 31 billion cubic meters per 12 months sooner or later. Round six billion cubic meters of fuel are delivered to Türkiye, whereas the remainder of the amount is equipped to Europe.

The filling of the TANAP pipeline throughout Türkiye started in late January 2018.

A ceremony to launch Section 0 of TANAP befell on June 12, 2018, within the Turkish metropolis of Eskisehir. First business fuel deliveries to Türkiye commenced on June 30, 2018. The opening ceremony of TANAP’s connecting with Europe befell on Nov. 30, 2019, in Ipsala city (Edirne province, Türkiye).

For growth, it's needed so as to add a number of extra compressor stations so as to obtain a throughput of 24 billion cubic meters per 12 months. To realize a capability of 31 billion cubic meters, a complete of seven compressor stations might be required.
