This alliance signifies a united front in tackling the pervasive challenge of gas flaring that plagues the country.
The alarming statistics of gas flaring in the first half of 2023, with a 10% increase from the previous year, underscore the urgency of these collaborative efforts. The innovative technology poised to convert flared gas into viable products reflects the Presidency’s commitment to embracing cutting-edge solutions for a sustainable future.
