Poland's PKN Orlen said in a press release that its transformation path until 2030 revolves around renewable energy and advanced petrochemicals.

In April, Turkey's power production from local and renewable sources was at the level of 80%, Dönmez said, adding that these numbers indicate records on a monthly basis since 2000.

The ageing reactor fleet across Europe is reaching its 40th year in many countries and decommissioning of these plants is inevitable.

In December 2019, Turkey and Azerbaijan formally inaugurated the US$6.5bn Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP) gas interconnector.

Gazprom and Germany say Nord Stream 2 is purely a commercial project. Gas demand in Germany is growing as it cuts dependence on nuclear and coal power.

UOKiK on Oct. 7 imposed a fine of more than Zloty 29 billion ($7.62 billion, Eur6.48 billion) on Russian gas giant Gazprom for building Nord Stream 2 without its approval, as well as a fine totaling Zloty 234 million on five European companies that helped finance the project.

Russia was Turkey's top gas import destination, supplying 1.37 bcm of natural gas while Azerbaijan and Iran followed with 986 and 406 mcm, respectively.

The USA and Bulgaria recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on civil nuclear cooperation.

A little over 150 km of Nord Stream 2 remains to be laid in Danish and German waters after an initial threat of US sanctions last December forced principal pipe-layer Allseas to halt work.

The United States has been competing with China and Russia and other countries to supply nuclear power technology to countries hoping to build their first reactors, or boost their programs.

The increase in the reserves is the result of continued drilling to a depth of 4,775 meters in the Tuna-1 well, which located a third reservoir in addition to the two reservoirs identified at around 3,500 meters depth in earlier drilling.

Russia's gas supplies to Germany rose by 10.4% in annual terms in this August.

The EU will have to reduce buildings' greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 60%
