Iraq is projected to become one of the world’s leading countries for gas flaring by 2025, ranking behind only Russia and Iran. This assessment is based on data from the World Bank. Gas flaring, the burning of natural gas associated with oil extraction, contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and represents a waste of a valuable energy resource. The report indicates a significant level of ongoing flaring activity within Iraq’s oil industry. Further details regarding the specific volume of gas burned were not provided in the initial report. This places Iraq among nations with substantial environmental concerns related to energy production. The findings highlight a continuing global issue of inefficient resource management in the oil and gas sector.
