Algeria and UNDP Partner to Curb Methane Emissions and Explore Green Hydrogen

Algeria and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) have signed a cooperation agreement to bolster Sonatrach’s environmental efforts. The project focuses on two key objectives: enhancing the company's ability to measure and mitigate methane emissions through the installation of monitoring systems aligned with international 'OGMP 2.0' standards, and conducting a feasibility study on green hydrogen integration. The agreement was finalized in Algiers during a climate finance workshop attended by energy officials and international partners. By providing technical expertise and facilitating technology transfer, the project aims to accelerate the national energy transition, improve environmental performance, and diversify the country’s low-carbon energy options.
