The proportion of new energy and energy storage in Turkmenistan

How is energy used in Turkmenistan?

Total energy supply (TES) includes all the energy produced in or imported to a country, minus that which is exported or stored. It represents all the energy required to supply end users in the country.

What is the future of electricity production in Turkmenistan?

Future Electricity Production: Expected to rise to 35,500 GWh by 2030, a 57.5% increase from electricity production in 2021 (22,533 GWh). Having the second most energy-intensive economy in the world, Turkmenistan’s low energy efficiency and outdated oil and gas infrastructure contribute to its significant methane emissions.

How much CO2 does Turkmenistan emit?

Turkmenistan is the third largest CO2 emitter in Central Asia, releasing 63,655 kt in 2022. With the CO2 intensity 152% above the global average in 2022, the country had the most carbon-intensive economy in the region. The energy sector contributes 86.3% of GHG emissions, with electricity and heat generation responsible for about 27%.

Why is Turkmenistan the most carbon-intensive country in Central Asia?

Turkmenistan's heavy reliance on its energy sector, particularly natural gas, has led it to become the most carbon-intensive country in Central Asia. As of 2022, its carbon intensity is approximately 152% higher than the global average, and it ranks as the third-largest CO2 emitter from energy in the region.

Is Turkmenistan a good place to develop hydrogen energy?

Potential: Turkmenistan, with the world’s fourth-largest natural gas reserves, is strategically positioned for hydrogen energy development, as 68% of global hydrogen production is derived from natural gas, making it the most cost-effective method. Estimated Production: 1.82-5.76 Mt per annum by 2040.

Does Turkmenistan have natural gas?

Ranking the fourth in the world regarding natural gas reserves, fossil fuels dominate Turkmenistan's energy mix. Natural gas makes up over three-fourths of the total supply. Hydropower contributes around 0.02% of electricity generation, marking a small but notable step forward for the country.
