Zero Routine Flaring

Working together for clean air!

In 2015 the Worldbank started the “Zero Routine Flaring by 2030” initiative for governments, oil companies, and development institutions. The World Bank encourages relevant industry organizations to participate as advocates and to help meet the Initiative’s objectives. At Worldbank you find the countries (32), companies (41) and development institutions (15) who signed this initiative.

Nevertheless at almost a daily based we hear about flaring everywhere. From 17 december 2020 we start to collect all incidents. Inform us through twitter #flaringalarm, #fakkelalarm, #torchagealarm, #abfackelungalarm or facebook when it happens in your country?
