Iraqi-US companies tie-up to harness gas

23 Apr 2024 CW Team

In a significant move towards sustainable energy practices, Iraqi and US companies have joined forces to sign agreements aimed at capturing and utilising gas for power generation. The agreements mark a pivotal step in Iraq's efforts to reduce gas flaring, a practice that has been a longstanding issue in the country's oil fields. By harnessing the gas instead of burning it off, the initiative not only helps in mitigating environmental degradation but also unlocks economic opportunities through increased energy production.

Through these partnerships, both Iraqi and US companies are set to benefit from the synergies created by leveraging each other's expertise and resources. This collaboration underscores the importance of international cooperation in addressing global energy challenges and advancing towards a more sustainable future.

Furthermore, the initiative aligns with Iraq's broader vision of diversifying its energy portfolio and reducing reliance on conventional fuel sources. By tapping into the abundant natural gas reserves, the country can enhance its energy security while also meeting the growing demand for electricity.

Overall, the partnership between Iraqi and US companies signals a commitment to responsible energy practices and sets a precedent for future collaborations in the global energy sector. As countries worldwide strive to transition towards cleaner energy sources, initiatives like these pave the way for a more sustainable and resilient energy ecosystem.

Smart Roads, Smarter India

India’s infrastructure boom is not only about laying more kilometres of highways – it’s about building them smarter, safer and more sustainably. From drones mapping fragile Himalayan slopes to 3D machine-controlled graders reducing human error, technology is steadily reshaping the way projects are planned and executed. Yet, the journey towards digitisation remains complex, demanding not just capital but also coordination, training and vision.Until recently, engineers largely depended on Survey of India toposheets and traditional survey methods like total stations or DGPS to prepare detai..

What Does DCPR 2034 Mean?

The Maharashtra government has eased approval norms for high-rise buildings under DCPR 2034, enabling the municipal commissioner to sanction projects up to 180 m on large plots. This change is expected to streamline approvals, reduce procedural delays and accelerate redevelopment, drawing reactions from developers, planners and industry experts about its implications for Mumbai’s vertical growth.Under the revised DCPR 2034 rules, buildings on plots of 2,000 sq m or more can now be approved up to 180 m by the municipal commissioner, provided structural and geotechnical reports are certified b..
