Deputy Minister of Economy and Sustainable Development Inga Pkhaladze says Georgia is considering the possibility of building a “green hydrogen” pipeline in parallel with the Black Sea submarine power cable as part of the “Green Energy Corridor” project.
Inga Pkhaladze told Trend Agency during Baku Energy Week that the main importance of ongoing meetings lies in strengthening ties between partner countries, which she said provides a tool to overcome external shocks, address energy sector challenges and reinforce state stability.
She said Georgia’s key priority is strengthening energy security, which cannot be achieved alone and requires cooperation with neighbouring countries.
Pkhaladze highlighted joint work with Azerbaijan, Romania and other European partners, noting that Georgia and Azerbaijan are long-term partners, including in gas and electricity supply during the winter period.
She said two main routes are planned under the “Green Energy Corridor”: a land corridor from Azerbaijan through Georgia to Turkey and Bulgaria, and a submarine cable linking Azerbaijan, Georgia, Romania and Hungary. The submarine line is designed for electricity export with a capacity of 4,000 megawatts, connecting the South Caucasus with Europe.
