Sonatrach partners with the UN to curb methane emissions and explore green hydrogen

Algeria and the United Nations Development Programme have signed a cooperation agreement to assist Sonatrach in measuring, reporting, and verifying methane emissions. The project, launched on the sidelines of the national workshop on climate finance and carbon markets, aims to reduce the energy sector's carbon footprint. Key pillars of the collaboration include implementing a high-tech leak detection system based on international standards and conducting a detailed feasibility study for green hydrogen integration. This initiative highlights Algeria's commitment to energy transition and the modernization of its environmental reporting systems.
