Ipieca is pleased to host a webinar on the recently launched World Bank’s Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership (GGFR) 2023 Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report. The latest report highlights a decrease in the volumes flared of 5 billion cubic meters (bcm) since 2021. According to the GGFR, this reduction could be compared to removing three million cars from the road.
During the webinar, Zubin Bamji and Debbie Walker from the GGFR provide insights and key takeaways from the report. This year, the report explores the global perspective, highlighting efforts and opportunities to reduce flaring in different countries. In addition, the 2023 tracker report has incorporated a section on ‘Flaring and methane: the ongoing challenge’.
