Gas Flaring News

Gobal Warming

As Nigeria continues to grapple with the impact of global warming and climate change, environmental experts have advised the government and other stakeholders to make deliberate efforts to abate methane emission and other greenhouse gases for a cleaner environment and safer existence.

They noted that human activities contribute about 60% of methane emission, stressing that collective efforts to abate it would be critical to achieving the 1.5°C warming pathway, avoiding the worst effects of climate change and achieving Nigeria’s target of reducing methane emissions by 45% by 2025 and 60-75% by 2030.

'How can we situate our discussion on management of energy and abating methane emission when there is a serious gas flaring in Ibeno, Onne, even as you are standing at the soil of Ibeno you will feel earth tremor as there's going to be an earthquake. 'Also, the waste disposal site in Uyo village road and other centers provide us with an example of mismanagement of waste which can lead to methane emission,' he said.
