The article discusses the innovative development of metallurgy in the Republic of Azerbaijan. Methods of production of energy-efficient and competitive metal products are analyzed to ensure the environmental safety of metallurgical processes to meet the needs of Azerbaijan and other CIS countries, as well as the world metal market. The importance of innovative metallurgical technologies, including nanotechnology, to meet the country's demand for metal products in the oil refining, petrochemical, chemical, automotive, mechanical engineering, utilities and other industries is emphasized. Proposed principles of creation of steel products of higher quality on the basis of new scientific approaches to the discovery and development of oil and gas fields and other valuable natural resources in the deeper layers of the Caspian Sea. This discusses the development of technologically efficient types of metal products with low metal capacity and high strength for the needs of the defense industry. Production of non-ferrous metals with the application of high-yield technologies based on the use of ore deposits of the country, creation of products from "master-alloys", rare and rare earth metals, etc. issues such as Keywords: metallurgy, innovative technologies, oil refining, petrochemistry, mechanical engineering, construction sector, ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
