Libya’s National Oil Corporation says it is doubling down on efforts to cut gas flaring and emissions, pointing to a reduction of more than 100 million cubic feet in 2025 and pledging further cuts exceeding 180 million cubic feet by the end of this year.
The NOC’s chairman said the push relies on adopting international best practice, modernising infrastructure, sharpening operational efficiency and rolling out advanced monitoring and emissions-control technology, particularly for methane. He pointed to Libya’s accession to the Oil and Gas Methane Partnership under the UN Environment Programme as evidence of the corporation’s commitment to environmental transparency and climate action.
The remarks came as the NOC hosted stakeholders in Tripoli to discuss emissions reduction and methane management, in partnership with the European Union Mission and the UN’s International Methane Emissions Observatory, with officials hoping the discussions produce practical steps to support the sustainability of Libya’s energy sector going forward.
