Sonatrach and UNDP Partner to Tackle Methane Emissions and Explore Green Hydrogen

Algeria and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have signed a cooperation agreement to bolster Sonatrach's ability to measure and verify methane emissions, alongside analyzing the potential for green hydrogen development. This project aligns with Algeria’s objective to lower the carbon footprint of its energy sector and advance its transition toward cleaner energy. The initiative focuses on implementing advanced systems to continuously monitor gas leaks in line with global standards, thereby improving environmental transparency. Additionally, a feasibility study will assess the integration of green hydrogen into the company’s operations. The UNDP will oversee the project, providing technical expertise and facilitating technology transfer to strengthen national capabilities in low-carbon energy solutions.
