Gas flaring was responsible for around 48 million tonnes of emissions in 2010 [7]. Yet it is possible and cost-effective to Nigeria to reduce and ultimately end the practice. There are many potential productive uses for this gas such as feeding industrial clusters with a centralized gas supply. This would combine well with other options, such as increased use of natural gas (e.g. CNG) in transport and in power generation. The key difficulty may be enforcement, but the benefits are large.
