BAKU, Azerbaijan, May 12. There are prospects for further increasing the supply of Azerbaijani gas to Europe, EU Ambassador to Azerbaijan Peter Michalko told Trend.
He noted that the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC) project made it possible to directly supply Azerbaijani gas to the EU countries.
"There are all opportunities to increase exports, in connection with which new steps can be taken. In addition, there is an interest of EU countries in increasing import of oil and gas from Azerbaijan, and the EU hopes to implement this in the near future," Michalko said.
Azerbaijan exported 3.5 billion cubic meters of gas to Europe from January through April 2022.
The supply of Azerbaijani gas to Europe through the SGC began on December 31, 2020.
Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), which is the European part of SGC, will annually supply eight billion cubic meters of gas to Italy and one billion cubic meters of gas to Greece and Bulgaria.
