Nigerian minister says plan to commercialise gas flaring at advanced stage

Nigeria's plan to commercialise gas burned from its oil fields was at an advanced stage and would help cut 15 million tonnes of carbon emissions from the atmosphere, the petroleum minister said on Tuesday after meeting US climate envoy John Kerry. Africa's biggest economy, Nigeria is also the continent's major oil producer. The West African nation has been trying to harness gas belching from its oilfields so it can be exported or used to generate power but has been hobbled by lack of finance.
