Anglo Dutch Shell has confessed to emitting as much as 6.1million tonnes of carbon dioxide, C02, into the Nigerian environment during oil and gas operations in 2011.
The admission comes, even as the international community continues to raise alarm on the effect of such emissions on humans, plants and animals in terms of increased global warning and attendant health hazards on the people.
Shell in its 2011 Sustainability Report posted on its official website said the current flare rate was, however, almost 20 percent reduction over the 2010 figures.
