IEA: Turkmenistan Gas Waste Could Ease Supply Crunch, 6 bcm Recoverable
The IEA reports that the energy sector is wasting gas that could ease supply shortages. Turkmenistan alone could recover 6 bcm of gas through emission-abatement measures, significantly boosting global supply.
The energy sector is currently wasting significant quantities of natural gas that could otherwise alleviate global supply shortages, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA). The IEA specifically highlighted Turkmenistan as a country where emission-abatement measures could rapidly recover 6 billion cubic meters (bcm) of gas.
This recovery of gas from Turkmenistan alone represents a substantial volume that could contribute to stabilizing energy markets amidst ongoing supply challenges. The IEA's assessment underscores the potential for immediate improvements in gas availability through targeted interventions in existing energy infrastructure and practices.
