        Burkina Faso

        In 2019, Burkina Faso’s energy mix was dominated by biofuels and wastes, with oil products accounting for one-third of the total energy supply. In 2020, 11% of the population had access to clean cooking and only 21% had access to electricity, making Burkina Faso one of the world’s least-electrified countries. For electricity, the country has a target of 95% access for urban areas and 50% for rural areas by 2030. For clean cooking, Burkina Faso has a universal access target for urban areas and 65% in rural areas by 2030. The target for LPG urban penetration…

The NDC covers all economic sectors.Regarding emissions from the oil and gas sector, Colombia’s NDC includes mitigation of fugitive emissions and makes a clear mention of Resolution 40807-2018 as a key component of its climate change mitigation strategy. The Ministry of Mines and Energy is the one responsible for the fugitive emissions measure that is part of the sectorial strategic lines towards GHG emissions mitigation. The potential for mitigation is between 0.39 and 3.24 MTCO2eq.

        Policy guideline for the promotion of sustainable biofuels production in Colombia (Conpes 3510)

        In 2008, The National Council for Economic and Social Policy (CONPES) led by the National Planning Department (DNP), made a guideline document for the National Biofuel Policy. This document assesses the development of the biofuels market in Colombia as a result of the incentives and policies for biofuels promulgated in the 2000s; defines the principal objectives sought by the policy in the short and long term; and defines guidelines and recommendations for the policymakers in order to achieve and follow the defined objectives.

        Resolution 40687/2017. Technical Criteria for Offshore Hydrocarbons Exploratory Projects in Colombia

        The resolution established the technical requirements for the execution of exploratory drilling projects for offshore hydrocarbons.Article 20 covers venting and flaring of gas, which allows operators to flare gas during well control operations and initial production tests. Routine venting is forbidden, unless a well control event requires it.Art. 20 was repealed by the Resolution 40066/2022.

        New mechanism to provide energy service to more Colombian homes

        …Development Plan 2018-2022 and heeds the suggestions of the experts of Focus 4 of the Energy Transformation Mission, the National Government enabled a new mechanism for the Network Operators of the National Interconnected System (SIN) to continue bringing electric power service to more Colombian homes through isolated solutions, that is, power generation systems that are not connected to the SIN through physical distribution networks.       Currently, in Colombia there is a potential of approximately 338,000 households that could have access to electricity service thanks to this new mechanism. According to information from the Mining and Energy Planning Unit (UPME)…
