Azerbaijan completed its first TNA in 2012. In early 2025, Azerbaijan rejoined TNA V, updating the sectors and technologies that were assessed more than 10 years earlier.
Azerbaijan experienced rapid socio-economic growth from the mid-2000s resulting in adverse effects on the environment and the overexploitation of natural resources. The TNA has helped shape the move away from a dependence on oil and gas by providing a framework for the growth of the renewable energy sector.
Azerbaijan’s first TNA showed that biogas, together with the other prioritized technologies in the commercial and residential sectors, has the potential to reduce emissions by a total of 32.7 mtCO2e by 2030. In particular the establishment of grid-connected wind power and the introduction of biogas will greatly reduce emissions while at the same time boosting the development of the alternative energy sector, enabling a shift in energy sources from oil and gas to wind.
In 2025, Azerbaijan to update its TNA, to re-assess priorities and to identify sectors and climate technologies that can support the nation in meeting its climate targets as well as its low-emission development.
Azerbaijan’s TNA contributes to the following Sustainable Development Goals:
