Seplat Energy Gears For Carbon-Free Operations

SEPLAT Energy Plc said it is actively pursuing a range of initiatives to decarbonize its operations and support a sustain­able energy transition as part of its climate commitments and opera­tional excellence strides.

The company’s key measures in this regard include ending routine gas flaring, investments in gas in­frastructure, exploring renewable energy opportunities to further offset emissions, driving facility solarisation, monitoring and reducing emissions, progressing its afforesta­tion programme (called Tree4Life initiative) to further offset emissions and advancing on its carbon credit initiative.

Speaking at the 2024 Interna­tional Engineering Conference, Exhi­bition and Annual General Meeting organised by the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE), CEO of Seplat Energy, Roger Brown, said the com­pany is committed to protecting and safeguarding the land, water and ecosystems around its operations whilst minimising disruptions to wildlife populations.

Brown, who was represented by Managing Director of Seplat West Limited, Ayodele Olatunde, spoke in a panel session dubbed “Sustain­able Engineering Solutions to Food Security and Climate Change.”

According to him, a key focus for Seplat Energy has been an aggres­sive programme to eliminate gas flares by 2025, which is a significant part of the company’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2050 (if not before) – well ahead of Nigeria’s regulatory target of 2060.

Brown said Seplat Energy is invest­ing heavily in gas processing facili­ties in Nigeria, adding that beyond gas management, the company is exploring renewable energy oppor­tunities to further offset emissions. He said its New Energy business has been tasked with developing power and renewable energy, aligning the overall business strategy.
