At the 2026 Turkmenistan Investment Forum in Ashgabat, Vladimir Valetka, economist at the Office of the UN Resident Coordinator in Turkmenistan, presented the proposed UN Joint Programme on methane emissions reduction.According to the speaker, the proposed approach envisages combining methane reduction opportunities into a single portfolio of national investment projects. The work includes identifying and measuring emissions, preliminary project analysis and prioritization, preparation of technical-engineering and financial-economic feasibility studies, implementation of emission reduction measures, and independent verification of results. Then, for each project, an optimal combination of national and commercial investment, partner grants, concessional financing, results-based payments and, where requirements are met, carbon financing can be selected.As the speaker emphasized, with reliable measurement, reporting and independent verification of emission reductions, carbon financing can become an additional source of capital. It does not replace national investment, companies' own funds and conventional lending, but complements them.The key principles of the Joint Programme were named as the leading role of the Government and national ownership of the programme's implementation. UN agencies and relevant partners will provide coordinated technical, legal, project-financing and management support. International financial institutions and climate finance partners will be able to participate within a single portfolio of priority national projects rather than separate, fragmented initiatives.As noted, the necessary technical foundation is also being formed. According to internal UN coordination data, following notifications from the Methane Alert and Response System (MARS), eight cases of immediate emission reduction measures have been recorded, the results of which have been reliably confirmed. The technical analysis underlying the programme estimated methane emissions in the oil and gas sector in 2023 at 4.3 million tonnes. To support their reduction by 30 percent, the preliminary investment need is about 850 million US dollars.Uzbekistan was cited as a regional example: in 2024, under the World Bank-supported iCRAFT programme, the country received 7.5 million US dollars for an independently verified emission reduction of 500 thousand tonnes.Among the priority "no-regret" measures, the following were named: assessment of large projects and improvement of their implementation sequence, investment in small projects with shorter timeframes, modernization of electrical grids and reduction of losses, measurement, reporting and verification of methane emissions, detection and elimination of leaks, as well as economic diversification through the development of skills, professional competencies and production and supply chains."The goal is not simply to sell carbon credits. It is to turn measurable emission reductions into investment in the modernization of the energy sector," said Vladimir Valetka.

A representative of the technology company "Bitdear Technologies Group" presented at the Investment Forum in Ashgabat a project that envisages the phased conversion of Turkmenistan's energy resources into digital value: from a mining data center to a data processing center for artificial intelligence. According to him, the visit to the country was the company's fourth and took place against the backdrop of the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries in connection with the upcoming project in Turkmenistan."Bitdear Technologies Group" is a technology company in the field of artificial intelligence and Bitcoin mining infrastructure, headquartered in Singapore, whose shares are traded on the Nasdaq exchange in the United States. The company designs its own ASIC chips, manufactures mining equipment, and designs, builds and operates data centers. The company's energy portfolio amounts to about 3 GW across four continents. Recently, the company has also been providing clients with capacity for artificial intelligence, retrofitting existing sites for GPU-based infrastructure.At the first stage, a mining data center is created, fully financed by raised capital. At the second stage, a convertible facility is built: the cash flow from mining pays for grid connection, redundancy and uninterrupted-operation standards. At the third stage, the facility is upgraded into a data center for artificial intelligence, as a phased upgrade of an already income-generating asset rather than construction from scratch.The representative of the technology company "Bitdear Technologies Group" dwelt on power grids. According to him, mining load is a tool for the grid: upon an overload signal, it can reduce consumption within several seconds, and in normal operation it uses about 99 percent of capacity around the clock. For Turkmenistan, as the company representative noted, the project means direct foreign investment, about 30 highly skilled jobs for every 100 MW, and the retention of substations and power transmission lines in national ownership.The company intends to begin with a pilot project: the first site receives a license, and together with regulators the rules of application are clarified in practice. Then scaling beyond 100 MW is planned on the basis of a long-term electricity agreement, followed by diversification, with selected sites transitioning to high-performance computing and artificial intelligence with already trained local personnel.

The International Oil and Gas University named after Yagshygeldi Kakayev, together with the television channel «Altyn asyr», has prepared a programme dedicated to the regular session of the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan, which was held on 23 September.As noted in the speeches, one of the noble principles originating in the traditions of our ancestors is the resolution of important tasks and issues of significance to the country with due regard for the interests of the people. This principle plays an important role in strengthening such universally significant public values as unity, cohesion and sustainable development, as well as in further consolidating the country's socio-economic achievements. Indeed, the tradition of council creates broad opportunities for increasing the political activity of citizens by enabling them to express their opinions, views and proposals on issues of interest to the people and the state and of public significance, as well as to participate with their voice and contribution in the transformations being carried out. Such democratic traditions and noble principles are being strengthened in Turkmen society, and the Halk Maslahaty of Turkmenistan is carrying out extensive work in this direction.The speakers wished the Hero-Arkadag and Arkadagly Hero-Serdar good health, longevity and continued success in their large-scale activities.

Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkmenistan Ahmet Gurbanov spoke at the plenary session of the Turkmenistan Investment Forum and stated the country's interest in expanding practical cooperation with international financial institutions, development banks, transnational companies and business associations.The Deputy Minister noted that the global economy is adapting to structural changes in energy, logistics and production chains, and that a steady inflow of investment is a determining condition for the modernization of national economies, job creation and the improvement of well-being.The speaker emphasized that Turkmenistan, pursuing a policy of permanent positive neutrality, is building an open, predictable and mutually beneficial model of cooperation. The country's neutral status was confirmed by resolutions of the UN General Assembly in 1995, 2015 and 2025 and serves as the basis for dialogue with all states and associations regardless of their political orientation. The continuity and predictability of the foreign policy course provide guarantees of stability for business partners and investors.In recent years, the country has been implementing a set of measures to improve the investment climate: legislation on the protection and promotion of foreign investment, on tax and customs regulation, and on public-private partnership is being improved. Opportunities for foreign capital are expanding in free economic zones, including the Awaza National Tourist Zone on the Caspian coast, which is becoming a regional center of tourism, logistics and business activity.A special place in the investment strategy is occupied by projects in the fuel and energy complex, the chemical and oil and gas processing industries, and transport and transit. The Turkmenistan–Afghanistan–Pakistan–India (TAPI) gas pipeline, the development of the international seaport in Turkmenbashi and of transport infrastructure demonstrate the country's aspiration to integrate into regional and global logistics and energy networks.Growing attention is being paid to economic diversification: the processing industry, the agro-industrial complex, the construction industry, digital technologies and green energy, including renewable energy sources and energy efficiency.According to Ahmet Gurbanov, the forum will become a platform for new business contacts, exchange of experience and development of specific projects. He declared the readiness of Turkmenistan's foreign policy agency to continue providing comprehensive assistance to the development of business and investment cooperation, the deepening of contacts between business circles and the creation of favorable conditions for joint initiatives. The Deputy Minister expressed confidence that the forum will take place in an atmosphere of constructive dialogue and give a new impetus to mutually beneficial cooperation.
