At the International Scientific and Practical Conference "Environmental Aspects of the Implementation of Innovative Technologies in the Development of Hydrocarbon Deposits" (TESC 2025), held in Ashgabat on June 5, innovative monitoring and impressive results in reducing methane emissions in Turkmenistan were presented.

Irina Luryeva, head of the laboratory of the Scientific Research Institute of Natural Gas of the State Concern "Turkmengas", spoke about the achievements of our country in this area in her speech.

Since joining the Global Commitment to Reduce Methane Emissions, Turkmenistan has been actively demonstrating its commitment to combating climate change. Our country has set an ambitious goal - to reduce methane emissions by at least 30% by 2030 compared to 2020 levels. This is confirmed by the approved Roadmap and consistent compliance with international environmental programs, such as the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change and the Paris Agreement.

To effectively control methane emissions, Turkmenistan launched a joint project with the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) in March 2024. As part of this cooperation, the MARS (Methane Alert and Response System) digital platform began systematically receiving data from satellites, which allows monitoring emission sources in real time.
