Iraq plans to commence gas exports by 2030 as part of its strategy to develop its natural gas sector. The Iraqi government aims to enhance its processing capacity and reduce reliance on imported energy, with significant investments in infrastructure and partnerships with international companies.
This initiative includes efforts to capture and utilize flared gas, thereby improving energy security and contributing to economic growth while addressing environmental concerns related to gas flaring[1][5].
