In the first quarter of this year, natural gas consumption in Azerbaijan made up 4,8 bln. cubic meters, SOCAR told APA-Economics.
During January-March, gas consumption increased by 9,3% in comparison to the same period of the previous year.
“Sharp increase in the volume of production of carbamide and methanol plants, as well as an increase of gasification level to 96,3% in the country, impact soaring of gas consumption,” the information reads.
