Major construction projects are ongoing in Ashgabat and the regions of Turkmenistan, covering education, healthcare, and infrastructure sectors.

In Ashgabat, new buildings are being constructed for the Turkmen State Institute of Architecture and Construction. In Turkmenabat, a new building for the Turkmen State Pedagogical Institute named after Seyitnazar Seydi is underway. International oncology and pediatric centers, dental clinics, and a 400-bed expansion of the Archman Sanatorium are also being built.

At the Halk Maslahaty session, President Serdar Berdimuhamedov announced plans to begin construction of new facilities, including a multidisciplinary clinic at the State Medical University named after Myrat Garryyev, new buildings for the Indira Gandhi Medical School, and multifunctional hospitals in Ashgabat and Tejen. Oncology centers will also be established in Mary, Balkan, and Lebap, and a maternal and child health center in Dashoguz.

In addition, strategic infrastructure projects continue, such as a bridge over the saline Karabogazköl lake. A section of the Ashgabat–Turkmenabat expressway, including the Mary–Turkmenabat segment, is nearing completion.

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.
