"Turkmenistan, as a country with a great potential for the adoption of projects to modernize and implement projects to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the oil and gas sector, has a unique opportunity not only to take an active part in the carbon market, but also to participate in the formation of rules and procedures that will meet the technical and technological features of the oil and gas sector in the region," Igor Zgurov said.
"At the same time, it is important to emphasize the need to form national rules and procedures at the legislative level, which will provide an opportunity for enterprises and companies of Turkmenistan to participate in the market mechanisms of Article 6 of the Paris Agreement," Zgurov added.
