Utilization of microtunnelling technology for construction of the new gas pipeline between Azerbaijan and Europe
Published in Daniele Peila, Giulia Viggiani, Tarcisio Celestino, Tunnels and Underground Cities: Engineering and Innovation meet Archaeology, Architecture and Art, 2020
Gas supply to Europe is strategic issue for the European Union. To reduce Europe’s dependency on Russian gas and diversify the supply sources, European Commission has decided the construction of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) in 2008. The Southern Gas Corridor is aimed to provide a mean of transportation for the natural gas of the Caspian Sea in Azerbaijan (Shah Deniz gas field) to the European gas network in Italy.

Environmental performance of high-efficiency natural gas combined cycle plant
Published in Energy Sources, Part A: Recovery, Utilization, and Environmental Effects, 2022
Turkey has sought to minimize its energy reliance on Russian energy sources by reducing the share of natural gas in the electricity production mix and increasing its downstream network to ensure alternate import sources. As presented in Figure 2, Azerbaijan’s share of Turkish gas imports has increased in recent years. Turkey imports natural gas from Azerbaijan through the Southern Caucasus pipeline. This pipeline is part of the Southern Gas Corridor project aimed at transporting natural gas from Azerbaijan to Europe. The current geopolitical processes in the region, changes in the gas market and the implementation of energy projects between Azerbaijan and Turkey have gradually increased Azerbaijan’s position in the Turkish gas supply (Rzayeva 2018).
