Over 50,000 methane leaks have been eliminated across Uzbekistan, reducing emissions and saving tens of millions of dollars, thanks to a joint project between Hududgazta’minot and GasGreen Asia, a subsidiary of the US-based Climate Compass.
Uzbekistan reduced carbon emissions by 500,000 tons. As part of an earlier agreement, the World Bank awarded the country a $7.5 million grant. A part of these funds will be used to provide financial assistance to families most affected by the rise in electricity and gas tariffs.
