Gas Flaring

I will write more about gas flaring later, but here are some links to start with:

Environmental Rights Action, Friends of the Earth and the Climate Justice Programme published this report in 2005, available as pdf

Data on how much gas is being flared has been notoriously difficult to obtain.  A more recent US study by the National Geophysical Data Centre/, based on analysis of satellite images, probably has the best estimates of how much gas is being flared in the world today. It shows that Russia now flares most gas, followed by Nigeria.

The World Bank's "Global Gas Flaring Reduction Partnership" website has interesting links.
