The COP29 Azerbaijan Operating Company is committed to sustainability at the conference venue, aiming to minimize environmental impact through various initiatives. One key initiative involves using hydrogenated vegetable oil (HVO) as a power source for Baku Stadium, which will help reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the event.
The company’s sustainability policy includes seven commitments, with the primary goals of achieving carbon neutrality by utilizing renewable energy, enhancing energy efficiency, and offsetting unavoidable emissions. Additionally, they aim to promote sustainable practices, such as reducing single-use plastics and encouraging eco-friendly transportation.
HVO is a low-carbon alternative to fossil fuels, reducing harmful pollutants and improving air quality. Alongside HVO, other renewable energy sources will also power parts of the venue throughout the conference.
Supported by SOCAR Green, the COP29 Energy Transition Partner, this initiative underscores Azerbaijan’s commitment to sustainable energy and its transition to a low-carbon future.
