The Southern Gas Corridor is a part of the European Union's strategy to enhance its energy security. The TANAP system will be able to transport up to 31 billion cubic meters per year of Caspian and nearby regions' natural gas.

"Honeywell has a long history of working with critical energy projects in Turkey," said Orhan Genis, president of Honeywell in Turkey and Central Asia. "This important project will help to secure a supply of natural gas not only to this country but across Europe."

The 1,850-kilometer long TANAP will carry natural gas from Turkey's eastern border with Georgia to its western border with Greece. According to Eurogas, demand for natural gas in Europe will grow at about 2% a year through 2030.

"Honeywell's integrated solutions will enable TANAP to detect and resolve operational issues early, enhancing reliability for this important project," said Pieter Krynauw, vice president and general manager for HPS' Projects and Automation Solutions business. "Honeywell provides automation controls and safety solutions for almost 94,000 miles of natural gas and liquid pipelines, including many of the world's longest systems."
