    Gas flaring is an issue of serious environmental concern worldwide. Globally approximately 100 BCM (Billion Cubic Metres) of natural gas is flared every year, which leads to 400 million tons of CO2 (Carbon Dioxide) emissions and wastage of nearly 20 million dollars annually. The burning of expensive natural gas is not just an economical loss, it also poses a severe environmental threat to the flora and fauna and a risk of health abnormalities for human settlements around oil and gas fields, petroleum refineries, and petrochemical plants. Almost all the gas flaring sites are situated at remote locations because of which unreliable electricity is another major issue faced in the region.
