“…The possible remedy highlighted by Hajilary et al (2020) is the need for significant changes in the current government policies and practices in oil and gas production and processing with awareness of the environmental impact and the ratification of the Kyoto protocol. The World Bank identified erratic data and under-estimation of actual volume of gas flared by governments and companies as key factors that complicates the global effort to track progress on flaring reduction (World Bank, 2020).…”

This study aligns with Sustainable Development Goal 7 which aims at "ensuring access to affordable, clean energy, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all". The Gazetted Flare Gas Regulations 2018 provides a legal framework to support the policy objectives of the Federal Government for the reduction of Green House Gas emissions through the flaring and venting of natural gas. The Regulations provide the legal basis for the implementation of the Nigerian Gas Flare Commercialization Programme. This study investigates the factors contributing to gas flaring activities in Nigeria from 1970 to 2019. Using the autoregressive distributed lag error correction representation and cointegration techniques, findings reveal, among others, that in the long-run: (1) gas flaring activities is persistent; (2) economic growth induces flaring activities; (3) gas prices exert asymmetric impact; (4) gas utilization and fossil fuel are negative predictors. The result shows that gas price contemporaneously exerts positive and statistically significant impact at the 1% level. Gas price contributes 0.187 percent increase to gas flaring while its first lag induces significant reduction in gas flaring by 0.293 percent at 1 percent level of significance. This study also provides sufficient evidence on the persistency of gas flaring activities in Nigeria.

“…In a report published by Fisher and Wooster, gas flaring is (a) a multibillion dollar waste, (b) a local environmental tragedy, (c) a global environmental issue, and (d) an energy problem that can be solved. In another report, around 150 billion cubic meters per year of global natural gas flaring has been reported, contaminating the environment with 400 million tons of CO 2 annually …”

“…In another report, around 150 billion cubic meters per year of global natural gas flaring has been reported, contaminating the environment with 400 million tons of CO 2 annually. 12 The associated gas (mainly methane) when flared produces CO 2 , and if vented directly to atmosphere, it contains methane, which has 25 times more global warming potential than CO 2 . Depending upon the combustion efficiency of the associated gas, various quantities of greenhouse gases, such as CH 4 and CO 2 , and different air pollutant gases, such as sulfur compounds (hydrogen sulfide, sulfur oxides), carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, black carbon particles, and volatile organic compounds are emitted to atmosphere, 13 which is a serious threat to local and regional environments, resulting in an increased air pollution and greenhouse effect.…”

Annually billions of cubic meters of natural gas are flared around the globe at various oil and gas production sites. Natural gas flaring practices waste valuable energy resources that can be used for economic support and will also be beneficial to mitigate global warming effects. In this review, an overview of natural gas flaring impacts with respect to the environment with special emphasis on global annual natural gas flaring emissions and their reformation to energy-efficient fuels has been discussed. Initially, natural gas flaring emissions and their impacts in view of environmental pollution and global warming effects have been highlighted. The strategies to mitigate wastage to valuable energy resources through various flaring management strategies are also evaluated. In the main stream, various gas flaring reductions and utilization technologies based on their applications in the oil and gas industry and especially for remote oil and gas fields are discussed. Liquified natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) technologies have been identified as the main gas flaring reduction methods based on their applicability, commerciality, and economical potential. In addition, gas to liquid (GTL) has been an advancing technology for the past many years toward its utilization of methane as a feed and converting it to useful industrial products such as synthesis crude and methanol. Finally, reformation technologies for synthesis gas (syngas) production such as thermal reforming, plasma reforming, and photoreforming are deliberated. Based on feed gas mixture, different reforming processes such as steam reforming of methane (SRM), dry reforming of methane (DRM), and bi-reforming of methane (BRM) are evaluated for hydrogen-rich syngas production. The future perspectives regarding gas flaring utilization technologies advancement with further improvements in utilization of flared gas to efficient energy fuels are proposed.

“…CO 2 emission has been increasing dramatically owing to the rapid industrialization and the fast development of economy in the world, which has resulted in the extreme climate and global warming. 1,2 Therefore, it is of global concern to decrease the CO 2 emission by separating CO 2 from N 2 and other gases owing to the environmental and economic incentives for the utilization of the separated CO 2 . 3 Membrane technology has shown great potential in gas separation processes due to its high modularity and compactness, low energy consumption, and low operating costs.…”
