Azerbaijan Energy Research
- Azerbaijan's Energy & Climate Policy Framework: Azerbaijan’s energy sector, dominated by hydrocarbons (90% of exports, 33% of GDP), is transitioning towards renewables and efficiency under new laws and NDC3.0 targets.
- Azerbaijan's Energy Companies: Azerenerji dominates Azerbaijan’s electricity sector, while BP-led consortia lead oil & gas. SOCAR holds significant stakes in both.
- Azerbaijan's Energy Supply & Demand: Azerbaijan’s energy mix is dominated by gas (66% of consumption), with rising renewables reducing fossil fuel reliance. Oil production declines, while gas exports surge via Southern Gas Corridor.
- Azerbaijan's Energy Use & Price by Sector: Energy prices regulated; gas/electricity stable in 2025. Gasoline/diesel prices rose in 2024, remain lower than Türkiye. Oil/gas dominate final energy demand.
- Azerbaijan's Issues & Prospects: Azerbaijan advances gas, renewables, and energy infrastructure projects to boost exports and EU ties.

Azerbaijan Total Energy Production & Consumption
Primary consumption has been declining since 2023, with a 4.8% drop in 2025 to 16.5 Mtoe, mainly due to a much higher level of hydropower and renewable power generation in 2024 and 2025 that reduced the demand for fossil fuels. Before it increased by 2.2%/year on average from 2010 to 2023. Fossil fuels remain dominant in the energy mix, with gas covering 66% of primary energy consumption (-1 pp since 2010) and oil 32% (+2 pp). The shares of electricity and biomass are marginal and stable since 2010.

Azerbaijan Oil Production & Consumption
Oil and condensate production has been decreasing since 2010, by around 4%/year, from 51 Mt to 28 Mt in 2025 (-4% in 2025 alone). In the past, foreign investments greatly boosted the country's oil production, which more than tripled between 2004 and 2010, partly with the start of the Shah-Deniz field in 2006. The country is also collaborating with the OPEC in reducing its crude oil production, with its annual quota set at 551 kb/d for the years 2024 through 2026; in 2025, crude oil production remained 91 kb/d below the quota (460 kb/d or 23 Mt).

Azerbaijan Natural Gas Production & Consumption
Gas production follows the commissioning of Shah Deniz phases and has more than doubled since 2018 (20 bcm), reaching 40 bcm in 2025. Previously, gas production, which halved between 1990 and 2003 (5 bcm), surged with the commissioning of the Shah Deniz 1 (SD-1) field in 2006 (17 bcm in 2008), ramped up to 20 bcm in 2018 (commissioning of Shah Deniz 2) and doubled until 2024.

Azerbaijan GHG emissions and CO2 emissions
Azerbaijan's NDC 3.0 (2025) aims to reduce net greenhouse (GHG) emissions by 40% by 2035 (compared to 1990 levels). This 40% target, which covers all major sectors including AFOLU (agriculture, forestry, and other land use). would reduce GHG emissions from 85 MtCO2eq in 1990 to 51 MtCO2eq in 2035. The document plans to achieve its goal through investments on the modernisation of technologies across the economy to reduce their emissions, the promotion of electrification through renewable technologies, the use of biofuels as a substitute for high-emission fuels.
