The Turkmen government has announced a strategic initiative to overhaul its national certification and standardization body to meet global benchmarks. During the latest digital cabinet session, officials outlined a comprehensive roadmap for the gradual international accreditation of domestic testing laboratories. This transition involves strengthening bilateral partnerships with prominent global accreditation agencies to ensure that national quality controls are recognized beyond the country’s borders.

Following a detailed briefing on the operational status of the "Turkmenstandartlary" Service, the President affirmed the necessity of continuous institutional modernization. By endorsing the proposed reforms, the leadership aims to align domestic regulatory frameworks with international best practices. Specific directives were issued to the Deputy Prime Minister to oversee the implementation of these high-level standards, which are expected to bolster the reliability of national products and facilitate smoother participation in global trade networks.

Specialists at the International Science and Technology Park of the Academy of Sciences of Turkmenistan, led by Durdymyrat Gadamov and Altyn Rahmanova, have developed a new-generation bio-agent designed to neutralize soil methane emissions. The solution utilizes local bacteria adapted to the regional climate, which harness methane monooxygenase to convert methane into carbon dioxide and water.

Methane is a major contributor to global warming, with a heat-trapping capacity in the atmosphere significantly higher than that of carbon dioxide. The newly developed bio-agent features high efficiency in industrially congested areas, cost-effectiveness through the use of local raw materials, and complete safety for human health and the environment.

This scientific breakthrough aligns with Turkmenistan's sustainable development strategy, supporting its commitments under the Global Methane Pledge to enhance environmental oversight in the energy sector.
