The construction of TANAP started in 2015. When completed in 2018, the 1,800-kilometer (1,118-mile) pipeline is expected to carry 16 billion cubic meters/year of natural gas from Azerbaijan through Turkey to Europe. Turkish pipemakers will supply 80% of the 1.2 million tonnes of pipe required for the pipeline, and China’s Baosteel will deliver the remaining 20%.
