According to infographics, gas, oil, and coal production will decrease in the republic in September

During the period from January to September, an increase in the production of automotive gasoline and diesel fuel was noted in Uzbekistan. According to data, the volume of gasoline production increased by 2.6%, and diesel fuel production increased by 11.7%.

The National Statistics Committee reported that in the first nine months of 2026, 913.2 thousand tons of automotive gasoline were produced. This figure exceeds the volume recorded for the same period last year by 2.6%.

Regarding diesel fuel, its production reached 979 thousand tons during the reporting period, demonstrating an increase of 11.7%.

Furthermore, based on statistical data, it was calculated that only in September, 101.9 thousand tons of gasoline and 144.7 thousand tons of diesel fuel were produced.

The 'Central Asia Gas Circle' project may create an additional route for gas supply from Turkmenistan to Uzbekistan. This was announced by Valery Dukro, Executive Director of the Global Gas Centre (GGC) in Geneva, at the international conference 'Turkmenistan Oil and Gas – 2026' in Ashgabat.

According to Dukro, if the gas pipelines are interconnected between Uzbekistan and Kazakhstan, this new route will also expand the possibility of supplying gas to Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. At the same time, Turkmenistan's existing export obligations will be maintained during this process.

Currently, Turkmenistan has signed a short-term contract with UzGasTrade to supply up to 2 billion cubic meters of gas to Uzbekistan, for example, in 2023.

According to statistics, in January-August 2026, Uzbekistan imported a total of $1.21 billion worth of gas from Russia and Turkmenistan, although the statistics do not specify the individual share of each country.

According to Euronews data, the 'gas circle' may include over 3,000 kilometers of new and modernized pipelines. The initiative's authors estimate the value of this project at approximately $5 billion and its annual throughput capacity at 20 billion cubic meters.

Such a network aims to increase supply stability by connecting existing gas pipelines and managing gas flows in various directions, especially during the winter season. Dukro emphasized that connecting gas networks, attracting investments, and diversifying export routes are key tasks.
