The National Leader of the Turkmen People, Hajji Arkadag Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, performed the festive Eid al-Adha prayer at the Turkmenbashi Spirituality Mosque in Kipchak, marking the official beginning of the holy holiday. Additionally, he reviewed the ongoing construction of a new mosque in Arkadag City and hosted a traditional sacrificial charity dinner (sadaka) in the new city.
As reported by the "Watan" news program, before entering the building, Hajji Arkadag extended his heartfelt congratulations to the gathered congregation on the sacred occasion of Eid al-Adha. He prayed that all supplications, goodwill intents, and charity offerings made over the course of the three-day holiday be accepted by Almighty Allah. Following the Eid prayer at the grand mosque—the largest in the region—the congregation collectively raised prayers for national peace, a cloudless sky, environmental prosperity, and general well-being.
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.
