Total Energy Consumption

Per capita consumption is 4.7 toe, with electricity accounting for around 2 600 kWh in 2020.

Total energy consumption increased rapidly from 2000 to 2015 (4%/year, on average) and has remained stable until 2018; after a progression of 4% in 2019, it dipped by 2% in 2020 to 28 Mtoe. Natural gas represents 77% of that consumption and oil 23%.

Crude Oil Production

The country's oil production has decreased by 21% since a peak at 13 Mt in 2015 (10 Mt in 2020).

The country has a refining capacity of 271 kb /d, distributed mainly over 2 refineries (Seydi, 120 kb/d and Türkmenbaşy/Krasnovodsk, 116 kb/d).

The country is a net exporter of oil products. Oil exports decreased sharply after 2015 from 6 Mt to 3 Mt in 2020. They increased rapidly between 2010 and 2015, by 8.4%/year.

Turkmenistan started shipping oil through the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline.

CO2 Fuel Combustion/CO2 Emissions

In 2016, the country submitted its NDC, but no concrete objective has been proposed.

CO2 emissions from energy combustion almost doubled between 2000 and 2015 and have remained stable until 2019, before decreasing by 2% in 2020 to 67 MtCO2.
