However, another greenhouse gas, methane (CH4), which is 28 times more potent than CO2 over a 100-year- period, has emerged as a critical target in efforts to mitigate climate change.

Understanding the significance of reducing methane emissions, SOCAR is set to develop effective strategies to combat global warming and its devastating effects. In the meantime, this disastrous problem was the subject of discussion at the Baku Climate Action Week. On the fourth day of the conference organized by the International Energy Agency and the COP29 Presidency in Baku, a seminar titled "Transforming Methane Commitments into Action" took place.

At that seminar, a representative from the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR), which has made significant commitments in the field of green energy throughout the country, spoke about the action directions for reducing methane emissions.
