Gas Flaring In Nigeria‘S Niger Delta: Failed Promises And Reviving Community Voices, Eferiekose Ukala
Gas Flaring In Nigeria‘S Niger Delta: Failed Promises And Reviving Community Voices, Eferiekose Ukala
Washington and Lee Journal of Energy, Climate, and the Environment
This Note examines the use of litigation to stop gas flaring in Nigeria’s Niger Delta, and proposes an alternative solution to the ongoing gas flaring in the Niger Delta region. In exploring an alternative solution, this Note (1) details the history of gas flaring in Nigeria; (2) discusses Nigeria’s gas-flaring legislation and its implementation; (3) analyzes the impact that landmark gas flaring cases have had on the stoppage of gas flaring; and (4) details how litigation has been used as a tool to combat gas flaring, juxtaposing the concept of the rule of law. This Note concludes by suggesting that …
The Trans-Saharan Gas Pipeline - An Overview Of The Threats To Its Success And The Means To Prevent Its Failure, Loic Conan
Loic Conan
The Trans-Saharan gas pipeline (TSGP) is a planned natural gas pipeline to transport gas from Nigeria to Algeria and, supply Europe by connecting to the existing pipelines across the Mediterranean coast.
The length of the pipeline would be around 4,300 kilometers (2,671 miles). It will start from the swampy areas of the Niger Delta basin, and then will go through cultivated lands and tropical forest of North Nigeria. In Niger, it will cross the Sahel region, a semi-arid tropical savanna preceding the Sahara desert. Almost half of the route will then roam arid immensities before getting over the Atlas Mountains …

Colorado’S Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act: Encouraging Conversion Of Coal Plants To Natural Gas, Jonathan Talamini
Colorado’S Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act: Encouraging Conversion Of Coal Plants To Natural Gas, Jonathan Talamini
Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
The State of Colorado's recently-enacted Clean Air-Clean Jobs Act (CACJA) requires utilities to create plans that reduce NOx emissions by 70% at a specified portion of their coal-fired electricity generation facilities by the end of 2017. It allows utilities to use many different methods to achieve those reductions, but encourages and incentivizes the replacement of coal-based generation with natural gas. Utilities must seek approval for their plans from state agencies and must work closely with those agencies in designing the plans. This paper discusses the legal, political, and economic context for CACJA, and highlights the bill's advantages and disadvantages as …
