Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline (TCP)

planned

The Trans-Caspian Gas Pipeline is a proposed subsea pipeline that would link Turkmenistan and Kazakhstan's natural gas exports to Europe via Azerbaijan, bypassing Russia and Iran. The pipeline would run along the Caspian seabed between Turkmenistan's Türkmenbaşy port and Azerbaijan's Baku Sangachal Terminal, connecting to the Southern Gas Corridor to supply gas to the European Union. The pipeline has faced delays due to legal disputes over Caspian seabed sovereignty and financing challenges but is gaining renewed interest due to geopolitical shifts and increased demand for alternative gas supplies to Europe.
