Energy in Azerbaijan
Two-thirds of energy in Azerbaijan comes from fossil gas and almost a third from oil.[1] Azerbaijan is a major producer of oil and gas, much of which is exported.[2] Most electricity is generated by gas-fired power plants.[3][4] Energy in the country is produced using all types of sources, including fuel, renewable energy, water energy, electrical and heat energy.
Corruption in Azerbaijan is alleged to be connected to the oil and gas industry, which is very important for the economy.[5]
Within the country, counting use of exports, greenhouse gas emissions per person are around the world average.[6] Azerbaijan aims to reduce its emissions by reducing gas leaks and reducing flaring.[7]
