Guidelines for management of fugitive methane and greenhouse gases emissions in the upstream oil and gas operations in Nigeria

The Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) released these guidelines to establish actions and mechanisms for operators to prevent and control the emission of greenhouse gases from upstream oil and gas operations at new and existing facilities. The guidelines were designed to: reduce environmental and social impacts; prevent the waste of natural resources; and support the achievement of Nigeria's emissions mitigation and reduction targets, including the elimination of routine gas flaring by 2030, and a 60% reduction in fugitive methane emissions/leakages from oil and gas operations by 2031.To this end, the guidelines establish the following requirements for…

Democratic Republic of the Congo

The Democratic Republic of the Congo has huge hydropower potential while also dealing with extreme energy poverty. Foreign investors are currently partially lifting constraints on the country’s hydropower capacity, which is bringing down the costs of power supply and reducing the share of oil-fired power.

Ethiopia

In Ethiopia, while electricity reaches less than half of the population, great progress has been made over the past two decades. The National Electrification Program, launched in 2017, outlines a plan to reach universal access by 2025, aiming to supply 35% of the population with off-grid solutions. Meanwhile, Ethiopia is diversifying its hydro-dominated installed generation mix in favour of solar, wind and geothermal to pursue a more climate-resilient power system and reach economic development objectives.

Financing Electricity Access in Africa

Access to electricity is a cornerstone for economic development, poverty reduction and social equity. However, almost 600 million people in Africa lack access to electricity today, with progress falling far behind targets set by both African governments and the international community. Reaching universal electricity access will require a rapid scale-up of investment and financing to USD 15 billion per year, enabling the expansion of generation capacity, grid networks and decentralised solutions while ensuring that progress remains inclusive and sustainable.In a new flagship report, Financing Electricity Access in Africa, the International Energy Agency (IEA) undertakes its authoritative energy analysis…
