Top oil-producing nations and companies pledge to eliminate the waste of natural gas that also exacerbates global warming
April 17, 2015 |By Lisa Friedman and ClimateWire
Top oil-producing nations, including the Russian Federation, Kazakhstan and Angola, as well as Royal Dutch Shell PLC and other companies say they will stop flaring natural gas by 2030 as part of a landmark agreement with the World Bank.
