In addition to its crude oil reserves, Nigeria is greatly endowed with abundant reserves of natural gas, this was discovered by experts who encountered gas in their search for oil. These resources have turned out to be a gift and a curse, in terms of economic benefit and environmental issues respectively. This book dealswith the treatment of climate change in terms of reducing gas flaring and the possibility of successfully utilizing this gas, in striving to achieve sustainable development.
