It is planned to establish factories in Azerbaijan for processing organic materials into biogas.
Azerbaijan intends to ensure full recycling of organic waste through the establishment of anaerobic digestion plants. Corresponding measures are determined in the country's long-term low-carbon development strategy.
In the waste management sector, which generated 4.9 million tons of CO₂ equivalent in 2022, the priority areas are reducing methane emissions and expanding sorting methods.
In the period until 2035, it is planned to establish anaerobic digestion plants in Azerbaijan in close proximity to municipal landfills of solid waste. These plants will process organic material into biogas.
By 2060, it is expected to reach full coverage - 100% of all waste collected. In addition, the plans include updating existing ones and creating new wastewater treatment complexes with methane capture systems for their continued use for energy purposes.
