1、Global Gas Flaring Tracker ReportMARCH 2023After a decade of little progress,global gas flaring volumes fell by around 3%in 2022.However,despite this welcome reduction,greater and sustained efforts are needed to end this wasteful and polluting practice.The growing sense of urgency in tackling global

2、 gas flaring is further fueled by an increased concern regarding the amount of methane emitted during flaring.This year,our Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report considers the state of the science and the uncertainty surrounding methane destruction efficiency of flares.It draws the worrying conclusion t

3、hat,globally,CO2 equivalent emissions due to flaring could be higher than previously estimated.The global gas flaring estimates that we produce yearly allow us to better understand the evolving situation and what weas a partnership of governments,companies,and multilateral organizationsmust do to en

4、d routine gas flaring by 2030.This years Global Gas Flaring Tracker Report,a leading global and independent indicator of gas flaring,finds that 139 billion cubic meters(bcm)of gas was flared at upstream oil and gas facilities across the globe in 2022.This wasted gas could displace dirtier sources of

5、 energy and increase energy access in some of the worlds poorest countries.Routine gas flaring also represents a lost opportunity to provide many countries worldwide with much-needed energy security.Indeed,energy security has been a critical consideration throughout 2022,and reassuringly our estimat

6、es find that even as many countries have shifted away from importing Russian oil and gas,this has not resulted in a noticeable increase in Russian flaring.At the same time,we find that the energy sources that many countries are turning to have,in many cases,been produced by countries who are also ta
