Flare Gas to Power Solutions for Africa's Oil and Gas Sector

Turning routine gas flaring into a resilient power source

How Aggreko's Flare-to-Power Solutions Work

Every flare gas project is different. Gas composition, pressure, volume, and the regulatory environment all vary by field. Our engineers design custom gas to power solutions around your actual conditions, not theoretical specifications.  

We handle the full technical scope: gas treatment and conditioning, NGL stripping for rich wet gas, modular generation from our gas generator fleet, and transmission and distribution infrastructure where required.  

Our systems scale with you. Gas volumes change over a field's life. We adjust capacity up or down to match, without disrupting operations.

We help you:

  • Reduce the cost of flare tax
  • Boost profit margins by reducing energy spend or selling excess power
  • Relieve grid stress with alternative flare gas energy
  • Reduce your carbon footprint by eliminating gas flaring and waste
  • Adapt to changing gas volumes with flexible, modular equipment 

Aggreko's Track Record in Africa and Beyond 

Aggreko is the market leader in complex flare-to-power projects. We have delivered over 500 MW of APG-fuelled power solutions globally, including the world's largest flare gas to power project in Iraqi Kurdistan, a 165 MW system that eliminated routine flaring and supplied reliable power to the local grid 24 hours a day, saving an estimated 840 tonnes of CO2 per day.  

In Africa, we have delivered flare-to-power solutions across the continent's major oil-producing markets, including projects aligned with national zero flaring commitments. Our track record spans the full project lifecycle: feasibility, financing, engineering, commissioning, and long-term operations.
