Background Story
Why FlareIntel exists
Our goal is to reduce and ultimately eliminate routine gas flaring. In 2021 flaring was responsible for 1.2 billion tonnes of CO2e, the equivalent CO2 emissions from over 260 million cars, equivalent to all cars in the EU.
Greenhouse gas emissions need to be halved by 2030 – this means mitigating 35 billion tonnes of CO2e by the end of the decade. Ending routine flaring is technologically achievable in that period, but first there must be a credible, transparent and granular global assessment of flaring – yes, flare by flare.
FlareIntel Pro tracks every gas flare, for every asset, every company, in every country worldwide – every day. We work with clients to improve visibility, improve operations and identify investment opportunities.
FlareIntel was developed by Capterio, which provides gas flaring solutions for energy companies to capture flared gas, create value, improve energy security and accelerate the energy transition.
