据Azernews网站8月17日消息 2021年前7个月，阿塞拜疆向欧洲出口了30亿立方米天然气，价值7.737亿美元。

在天然气出口总量中，意大利占25亿立方米，价值6.583亿美元；希腊3.44亿立方，价值9610万美元；保加利亚1.349亿立方米，价值1930万美元。

1-7月阿塞拜疆共出口了120亿立方米天然气，价值20亿美元。

此外，土耳其占天然气出口总量的67亿立方米，价值9.744亿美元。

与此同时，2021年1月至7月期间，阿塞拜疆向格鲁吉亚出口了价值2.617亿美元的20亿立方米天然气。

阿塞拜疆于2020年12月31日开始通过跨亚得里亚海管道向欧洲提供商业天然气。阿塞拜疆能源部长帕维兹·沙赫巴佐夫早些时候表示，跨亚得里亚海管道作为连接阿塞拜疆与欧洲的另一条能源纽带，将加强阿塞拜疆在能源安全方面的战略作用，合作与可持续发展。

该管道由阿塞拜疆里海阿塞拜疆段Shah Deniz气田开发第二阶段的天然气通过南高加索管道和塔纳普提供。该管道的初始容量约为每年100亿立方米天然气，可选择将容量扩大至200亿立方米。

南部天然气走廊是欧盟委员会提出的从里海和中东地区到欧洲的天然气供应路线倡议。从阿塞拜疆到欧洲的路线包括南高加索管道、横贯安纳托利亚管道（TANAP）和横贯亚得里亚海管道。

Azerbaijan exports gas worth $773.7m to Europe in 2021

Azerbaijan exported 3 billion cubic meters of natural gas worth $773.7 million to Europe in the first seven months of 2021, the State Customs Committee has reported.

Of the total volume of exported natural gas, Italy accounted for 2.5 billion cubic meters worth $658.3 million. Some 344 million cubic meters of natural gas worth $96.1 million were exported to Greece and 134.9 million cubic meters worth $19.3 million to Bulgaria.

It should be noted that during the reported period, Azerbaijan exported a total of 12 billion cubic meters of natural gas worth $2 billion.

Moreover, Turkey accounted for 6.7 billion cubic meters of the total volume of exported natural gas, worth $974.4 million.

In the meantime, 2 billion cubic meters of natural gas worth $261.7 million were exported to Georgia.

Azerbaijan started commercial gas supplies to Europe through the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline on December 31, 2020. Azerbaijan's Energy Minister Parviz Shahbazov earlier said that the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline, as another energy link connecting Azerbaijan with Europe, will strengthen Azerbaijan's strategic role in energy security, cooperation and sustainable development.

The pipeline is supplied by natural gas from the second stage of Azerbaijan’s Shah Deniz gas field development in the Azerbaijani section of the Caspian Sea through the South Caucasus Pipeline and TANAP. The initial capacity of the pipeline is about 10 billion cubic meters of natural gas per year, with the option to expand the capacity up to 20 billion cubic meters.

The Southern Gas Corridor is an initiative of the European Commission for a natural gas supply route from Caspian and Middle Eastern regions to Europe. The route from Azerbaijan to Europe consists of the South Caucasus Pipeline, the Trans-Anatolian Pipeline (TANAP) and the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline.
