Chemical Industry

The chemical industry is one of our country's economy's most dynamically developing sectors. Over the past relatively short time, investment projects have been completed in Turkmenistan to build ammonia and urea plants in the cities of Mary and Garabogaz, a polymer plant in Kiyanly, and a plant for the production of gasoline from natural gas in Ovadandepe.

The state pays special attention to the development of the chemical industry as one of the strategic sectors of the national economy, as reflected in the "Program of the President of Turkmenistan for the socio-economic development of the country for 2022-2028."

Turkmenistan is one of the world's leading countries in terms of hydromineral raw materials reserves. These include intercrystalline, and surface brines of the Garabogazgol Bay, underground iodine-bromine waters, and formation waters of oil, gas, and sulfur fields. Currently, various types of mineral salts, iodine, bromine, and their compounds are produced on their basis.

The Garabogazgol Bay plays an important role in creating Turkmenistan's mineral resource base. It is the largest deposit of sodium sulfate and other useful minerals on the globe. This is a unique deposit in the world where, under normal natural conditions, the crystallization of various salts occurs on an industrial scale. Its area is 18.6 thousand square kilometers, and the length of the coastline is about 800 km.

Special attention will also be paid to Turkmenistan's industrial and construction industries. In the plenary session entitled "Industrial and Construction Industries of Turkmenistan: A Look into the Future," development strategies, investment opportunities, and the country's role in the regional economy will be discussed.

Turkmenistan has significant potential for modernizing production processes at enterprises in various regions of the country and is actively modernizing its industry. Vivid examples of this are large-scale projects to build a new ammonia and urea plant in the Balkan Velayat, expand the capacity of the Akhal plant for the production of gasoline from natural gas, and launch new production facilities at the Kiyanly Polymer Plant and the Turkmenabat Chemical Plant.
