Advancing Sustainable Energy: Azerbaijan's Role in the Global Landscape

Abstract

 Energy as the most important sphere of human life support is interconnected with world politics, climate, economic, environmental and technological development. It responds to all external challenges, often exerting a decisive influence on them. Azerbaijan is an important oil and gas producing country and plays an important role as an exporter of energy resources. Now there is a lot of talk about the energy transition, that in connection with this, Azerbaijan needs a new energy strategy. In the modern world, the production of environmentally friendly energy has become relevant. Azerbaijan has the potential for renewable energy production as well as CO2 capture and storage (CCS), which can be used to export low-carbon hydrogen. The geographical position of Azerbaijan and its growing transport and logistics role open up wide opportunities for the exchange of experience and cooperation in the field of decarbonization and the creation of export routes for low-carbohydrate energy carriers with European countries. The development of alternative energy sources against the backdrop of more frequent worldwide natural disasters is a vital and irrefutable demand of the times. The energy policy of Azerbaijan fully meets these trends. is influenced by a huge number of very different, often multidirectional factors. Azerbaijan also has great potential for the production of green energy and Azerbaijan plays an important role in ensuring the energy security of Europe. Natural gas exported from Azerbaijan fully meets the needs of a number of European countries. Today, a secure and sustainable energy supply is shaping a new global energy landscape based on the diversification of sources and routes, including the development of green energy. Azerbaijan is entering a new stage with initiatives that will strengthen its strategic position in ensuring energy security at the regional and European levels. Azerbaijan has already started producing alternative energy using new technologies. Along with the extraction and export of oil and gas, Azerbaijan will pay great attention to the production and export of "green"  energy, which will increase its role in ensuring the energy security of Europe
