As the energy transition is in full swing and research in renewable energy technologies has brought about the possibility of new ways of living sustainably, the fate of natural gas has come into question. Natural gas has had its fair share of criticism, but perhaps a more objective look at alternative views would reveal that the picture is more complex. Gas can play a number of different roles as an energy source in various regions and markets, depending on the needs of those particular areas, and can even be the ideal fuel to set the foundations for a low carbon energy transition while stimulating economic growth. Given the number of contradicting views on the matter, forming a reasonably accurate projection of what economic role gas may play in the future on a global scale is challenging, but trends indicate that gas is here for the foreseeable future.
Gas flaring is generated by the combustion of gas coming from many industries including oil and gas recovery and petrochemical products. Advanced technology presented several solutions to overcome gas flaring and even use it for productive purposes, especially during the time in which natural gas plays a key role in the transition into clean energy. The World Bank (WB) stated that the amount of gas flared each year is currently estimated at 144 billion cubic meters (bcm) which can provide electricity to the whole of Sub-Saharan Africa.
