Completion of the Southern Gas Corridor: An American Diplomatic Success, But What Comes Next?
Description
The initiation of commercial gas flows from Azerbaijan on December 31, 2020, marked the completion of the 878 km Trans Adriatic Pipeline, an important milestone for both Europe’s energy security and for U.S. diplomacy. While boosting the prosperity, independence, and well-being of these countries and the overall energy security of Europe, the Southern Gas Corridor’s completion comes at a time of changing energy markets and increased focus on addressing climate change. The Caspian Policy Center will bring together senior policy officials, corporate representatives, and leading energy policy experts to discuss the Southern Gas Corridor, how it fits with the evolving energy picture, and the possible next steps for energy coming from the Caucasus and Central Asia.
