The data are estimated using satellite imaging to spot th\u00e8 lights from flares, which are analysed by researchers to calcu late how muchgas is beingbumt.<br \/>\nRiccardo Puliti, head of th\u00e8 energy practice at th\u00e8 World Bank, described th\u00e8 fall last year as \u201cencouraging\u201d, but warned that it was too soon to say whether it represented th\u00e8 start of a sustained decline.<br \/>\nFlaring is often th\u00e8 safest way to dispose of unwanted gas produced during oil extraction, but th\u00e8 practice wastes resources that could find productive uses, and creates carbon dioxide emis- sions and other pollution.<br \/>\nIf captured and used for power generation, th\u00e8 gas burnt in flares could sup- ply 90 per cent of Africa\u2019s electricity consumption.<br \/>\nIn 2015, th\u00e8 World Bank launched an initiative to cut routine flaring to zero by 2030. It has gathered support from 26 countries, including th\u00e8 US, Russia, Nigeria and Iraq, and 33 compa- nies including BP of th\u00e8 UK, Eni of Italy, Royal Dutch Shell and Total of France.<\/p>\n<\/header>\n<p>Leggi tutto <a href=\"https:\/\/assocarboni.it\/assocarboni\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/FT_18.07.2018.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">clicca<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The amount of gas burn\u00ec off in flares by oil producers worldwide dropped last year for th\u00e8 first time since 2013, but increased in several countries, includ- ing th\u00e8 US, showing that th\u00e8 global effort to curb th\u00e8 practice is stili mak- ing uncertain progress.
