BAKU, Azerbaijan, September 4. As part of the World Bank’s ongoing technical assistance to Azerbaijan and in close collaboration with counterparts, a Walk-Through Energy Audit (WTEA) was carried out at the Azeraluminium LLC production facility in Ganja city reflecting a shared commitment to advancing industrial decarbonization in Azerbaijan, Trend reports via the World Bank.
The objective of this exercise was to help identify practical
opportunities to improve energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse
gas (GHG) emissions at the country’s leading aluminum production
site.
This activity was performed under the Azerbaijan Rapid Technical
Assistance Facility (AZTAF) program, financed by the European
Union, and implemented by the World Bank. AZTAF supports the
Government of Azerbaijan in enhancing energy efficiency across the
building sector, including industrial and commercial facilities,
while strengthening stakeholder capacity to implement and finance
energy-saving interventions.
The WB team began the work with a meeting in Baku, bringing
together representatives from Azeraluminium LLC, Azerbaijan
Investment Holding, and the German consulting firm CMMC. A
collaborative technical assessment followed at the Ganja plant,
where the team evaluated operational processes to identify
practical energy-saving measures and inform cost–benefit
analyses.
The final report will serve as a model to inform future investments and policy recommendations to accelerate energy efficiency and decarbonization in Azerbaijan’s industrial sector.
