The Eurasia Canal is one of the most ambitious canal mega-projects in modern history — a proposed 700 km artificial waterway connecting the Caspian Sea directly to the Sea of Azov and then to the Black Sea. If completed, it could transform Central Asia’s economy, shift major trade routes, and completely change regional geopolitics.

Central Asia — Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan — is rich in oil and gas but trapped behind landlocked borders. Their biggest limitation? No direct access to the world’s oceans. Over 80% of global trade moves by sea, and this canal could finally give the region a maritime gateway.

In this deep-dive we cover:

• Why Kazakhstan and Russia want the Eurasia Canal
• Differences between the Eurasia Canal and the old Volga-Don Canal
• How fewer locks, deeper channels and shorter distance reduce costs
• The engineering challenges: elevation gaps, water scarcity, and huge infrastructure upgrades
• Environmental risks and why experts are worried
• How the canal threatens Iran’s INSTC corridor and Pakistan’s access plans for Central Asia
• Why China strongly supports the project under Belt & Road
• Why this canal may never be built — cost overruns, politics, environmental pushback

From geography and economics to engineering and geopolitics, this video breaks down whether the Eurasia Canal could be a regional game changer — or another mega project that remains on paper forever.

What do you think? Will Central Asia finally get a real maritime route, or is this project too big to become reality? Share your thoughts in the comments below.
