    Investing in R&D to reduce emissions is certainly beneficial, as it can lower costs and improve efficiency. However, implementing currently available technologies and processes can already achieve significant emission reductions. These technologies include smokeless flares, zero-discharge practices, and real-time monitoring to quickly address any leaks that may occur. Transparent communication may be ineffective in economies that are heavily dependent on oil and gas production. Investing in renewable energy will aid in controlling emission.

    Los argentinos fuimos unos de los primeros precursores de la fusion atomica y nos desarrollamos en fision atomica durante muchos años ,hoy con la fuente de litio que tiene el pais deberiamos estar trabajando en fusion atomica recreando los primeros estudios de la isla huemul desde ya que hoy hay muchas mas cosas que se pueden incorporar pero todos los demas proyectos no tienen escala la fusion es el reemplazo del petroleo sin duda nada es mas limpio y menos contaminante que la luz del sol deuterio y tritio, tritio obtenido del litio mediante plasma Todo lo demas no tiene escala para la cantidad de energia que necesita el planeta

    The oil and gas industry's activities contribute to roughly 50% of all global methane emissions, making it a major contributor to global warming. A lot of factors comes in here; integrating technology and environmental stewardship by adopting sustainable practices. e.g. improving production efficiency, reducing industry's carbon footprint, improving recycling and treatment processes into the environment, among others.
