The EU expects Azerbaijan to increase natural gas production and boost flows to Europe, but is not willing to finance such projects, according to Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev, cited by Bloomberg.

  • The bloc has yet to provide Azerbaijan with a guarantee that it will continue buying gas in the future, Aliyev said.
  • Azerbaijan agreed in 2022 to increase gas exports to Europe to 20 bcm/y, compared to 8 bcm/y prior to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
  • Azeri gas exports to Europe are expected to hit 12 bcm in 2024.
