Azerbaijan: Southern Gas Corridor

Stretching across five countries of operations of the EBRD, the Southern Gas Corridor - of which the TANAP Project is an integral part - is an important strategic gas infrastructure project aimed at improving the security and diversity of the energy supply to Europe and Turkey. It will expand gas supply options and provide new energy transportation routes enabling Europe to access gas from the Caspian region and, in the longer term, beyond it, including the Eastern Mediterranean, Central Asia and the Middle East. In Turkey, which imports most of its gas, the Southern Gas Corridor will provide an additional source of natural gas and improve the country's infrastructure with better distribution of gas supplies, improved access to energy and inclusive regional growth.
