Transport and Communications Workers in Turkmenistan Awarded State Honors for Independence Day
22 Sep. 13:32Ahead of Turkmenistan’s 34th Independence Day, the Ministry of Railway Transport hosted a ceremonial event honoring workers in the transport and communications sectors with state awards and honorary titles.
As part of a long-standing tradition, outstanding professionals across various industries receive high national honors in recognition of their contributions. This year, a large group of employees from the transport and communications complex was acknowledged for their achievements and service.
Speakers from the communications sector highlighted that, over the years of independence, Turkmenistan has evolved into a hub of digital development and international cooperation.
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.
