Baku, Azerbaijan, July 3
By Leman Zeynalova – Trend:
BP achieved more than 95,000 tonnes of sustainable GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions reductions in its operations in Azerbaijan in 2018, Gary Jones, BP’s Regional President for Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey said, Trend informs citing BP’s Sustainability Report.
“We continued the efforts to minimize our impact on the environment and contribute to meeting the dual challenge that we all face today: how to deliver more of the energy our growing world needs but with fewer greenhouse gas emissions. As a result of these efforts we achieved more than 95,000 tonnes of sustainable GHG [greenhouse gas] emissions reductions in our operations in Azerbaijan in 2018, which is over 75% more than in 2017,” he said.
At the same time, as Jones said, despite the significant reduction in flaring from the Deepwater Gunashli and West Chirag platforms, BP saw increase in the volume of gas flared at its operational facilities in 2018 mainly due to the additional flaring from the Shah Deniz Bravo platform and the Sangachal terminal Shah Deniz 2 site.
