Tomás de Oliveira Bredariol, an energy and environmental policy analyst at the IEA, delves into the perplexing issue of gas flaring in oil production. Despite major initiatives, flare volumes have stagnated, leading to massive greenhouse gas emissions. Tomás discusses the nine countries responsible for the majority of flaring and the surprising reasons oil companies choose diesel over available gas. He explores innovative alternatives for using flared gas, potential regulations, and financial incentives as pathways to reduce waste and unleash methane's value.
