Role of policy and regulation in ending routine flaring and achieving near zero methane emissions

Flaring operations contribute significantly to climate change by releasing both carbon and methane into the atmosphere. However, by implementing robust policies and regulations that mandate monitoring, reporting, and abatement of emissions, countries can effectively eliminate routine flaring, minimise non-routine flaring, and achieve near zero methane operations. This not only helps combat climate change but also creates opportunities to bolster energy supply by utilising the natural gas that would otherwise have been flared, whether for on-site power generation or sale on the market. Addressing flaring and methane in tandem is essential to attain sustainable and energy-efficient operations.

Attendee insights:

This session will explore policy and regulation strategies aimed at ending routine flaring and mitigating methane emissions as well as the implementation strategies needed to implement them.
