Uzbeks Envision Future Without Natural Gas Exports

摘要

Uzbekistan has begun to reconsider its role as a raw materials exporter and now wants to keep as much natural gas at home so that it can be processed into a variety of more valuable products. The Central Asian country, which was recently asked by China to reduce gas supplies in connection with the collapse in demand due to the corona- virus outbreak, would like to put an end to exports by as early as 2025, top energy officials told Energy Intelligence during interviews in Tashkent.
