BAKU, Azerbaijan, Feb.18. The Trans Anatolian
Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) consortium has become the first
organization from Türkiye to join Oil & Gas Methane Partnership
(OGMP) 2.0, Trend reports via the consortium.
OGMP 2.0 is the flagship oil and gas reporting and mitigation
program of the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP).
“As a voluntary initiative, this milestone reflects TANAP’s
commitment to reliable methane tracking, transparent reporting, and
meaningful emission reductions-contributing responsibly to climate
action at both national and global levels. Through OGMP 2.0, we
strengthen our contribution to a more sustainable and responsible
energy future,” said the consortium.
Companies that join the partnership commit to the only
comprehensive measurement-based reporting framework, which improves
the accuracy and transparency of methane emissions data from the
oil and gas sector.
TANAP, the largest segment of the Southern Gas Corridor,
transports gas from Stage 2 of Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz field from
the Georgian-Turkish border to Türkiye’s western border.
Its initial capacity is 16 billion cubic meters of gas per year.
Around 6 billion cubic meters is delivered to Türkiye, while the
rest goes to Europe via the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP). It
exported 5.6 billion cubic meters of gas to Türkiye in 2025.
The estimated useful life of the TANAP system is expected to
last until 2062.
