Global Flaring and Methane Reduction Partnership (GFMR)

https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/gasflaringreduction The World Bank's Global Flaring and Methane Reduction (GFMR) is a multi-donor trust fund supported by governments, companies, and multilateral organizations committed to ending routine gas flaring and reducing methane emissions from the oil and gas sector. To help developing countries rapidly cut flaring and methane emissions, GFMR provides governments and state-owned entities with programmatic support. This includes catalytic grant funding, technical assistance, policy and regulatory reform advisory services, institutional strengthening, and mobilizing finance to jump-start and accelerate the deployment of flaring and methane reduction solutions. Gas Flaring During oil production, the associated natural gas, composed mainly of methane, is often treated as waste, and flared (burned) or vented directly into the atmosphere. This occurs when economic, regulatory, technical, or infrastructure barriers prevent it from being used as a fuel or when re-injecting it back into the reservoir is not possible. https://www.worldbank.org/en/programs/gasflaringreduction/about
