Through this agreement, IFC will invest in Basra Gas Company to support one of the largest gas flaring reduction projects in the world to support the more sustainable energy sector in Iraq. Basrah Gas Company is an Iraqi natural gas joint venture established to collect and process associated gas, which is a by-product of the oil production process in the region and which would otherwise be flared. This loan will contribute to the expansion and increase the capacity of Basrah Gas Company to process an additional 400 million standard cubic feet per day of natural gas. This is a 40% increase from the company's current capacity, which aims to help the country meet its growing energy needs and power an additional 1 million Iraqi homes. The Basra liquid-gas separation plant project will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by about 10 million tons annually. Iraq enjoys large reserves of natural gas, and in the absence of the infrastructure necessary to process gas during oil production, it is burned and wasted. This leads to significant emissions of greenhouse gases, at the same time homes and businesses in the country depend on other energy sources that may themselves be associated with similar emissions of gases. By capturing the gas byproduct and later using it by these customers, the Basrah Liquids Gas Separation Plant project can help reduce overall emissions. The IFC loan will partially finance the construction of this new gas processing facility (Basra Natural Gas Processing Plant (BNGL), which is part of a broader plan to reduce gas flaring in southern Iraq. On this occasion, Minister of Oil Ihsan Abdul-Jabbar Ismail said: “Signing this loan supports joint efforts to maximize the optimal investment of gas associated with oil operations, by treating it with the latest modern technologies and striving to achieve our goals of converting burned energy into clean and useful energy, and working to reduce emissions and impacts.” The Minister of Oil pointed to the importance of strengthening cooperation with sober international banks to implement and support sustainable development projects, including gas investment projects in the Basra Gas Company. Ismail added that this loan opens new horizons for more cooperation and transactions that serve common interests and goals, stressing Iraq's commitment to maximizing associated gas investment projects, and achieving the standards and objectives stipulated in the Paris Agreement. For his part, Malcolm Mays, Managing Director of Basra Gas Company, said: “We are pleased to sign this agreement with the International Finance Corporation, which is the first loan agreement of its kind in the oil and gas sector, and it is a milestone of which we are proud. This agreement demonstrates the strength of Iraqi companies, such as the Basra Gas Company, and their ability to attract financing and confidence from international banks. The purpose of this five-year loan is to support the company's growth project, the Basra Gas-Liquids Processing and Separation Plant (BNGL) project and converting wasted flared gas into much-needed energy in the country. Our strategy is in line with the Iraqi government's vision to supply Iraqi homes with electricity and create a more sustainable energy industry. This agreement would not have been possible without the continuous support of the Ministry of Oil, the International Finance Corporation and our shareholders.” In a related development, Sergio Pimenta, IFC Vice President for the Middle East and Africa, said: “This pilot project has the potential to deliver significant environmental and economic benefits, including reduced greenhouse gas emissions and increased financial revenues, as well as improving access to energy and lowering costs on the Iraqi citizens. This project comes after years of hard work and strong cooperation by all parties involved. We hope to send a strong signal to other investors to support more investments in tackling climate change and supporting inclusive growth in Iraq.” The IFC investment consists of $137.76 million in IFC account loan and $180 million syndicated loan to eight international banks (Bank of China, Citibank, Deutsche Bank AG, Industrial Commercial Bank of China, Natixis, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking and Societe General, Standard Chartered Bank), and a loan of 42. $24 million through the IFC Syndicated Lending Portfolio Program, a platform that allows institutional investors to participate in the IFC's loan portfolio. The project benefits from the World Bank Group's long-term engagement in the energy sector in Iraq. Iraq joined the Global Gas Flaring Reduction Initiative in 2011 and in 2013 committed to eliminating all routine natural gas flaring by 2030. Information about Basra Gas Company شركةBasra Gas Company is a 25-year joint venture between the Iraqi South Gas Company, which owns 51% shares, Shell, which owns 44% of the shares, in addition to Mitsubishi, which has 5% shares.The production rates of the Basra Gas Company amount to about 900 million standard cubic feet per day, and this amount of gas is sufficient to produce 3.4 kilowatts of electric power that is sufficient to equip millions of homes and factories in Iraq. The company is currently collecting more than 60% of the gas emitted from three oil fields from the first licensing round: the Rumaila field, West Qurna 1 field, as well as the Zubair field. The Basrah Gas Company is the main center for gas collection and processing in southern Iraq, making it the main Iraqi company for the processing of associated gas and the main source of hydrocarbons used for power generation. The Basra Gas Company provides about 80% of the local market's need of liquefied gas (cooking gas), in addition to the continuous development of its export capabilities, supporting Iraq by diversifying sources of financing and transforming it into a country completely exporting liquefied petroleum gas (cooking gas). Since the launch of its activities in 2013 until the end of 2020, the Basra Gas Company played an important role in reducing the quantities of carbon dioxide emissions resulting from burning associated gas, as the company was able to prevent approximately 110 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions from entering the atmosphere, and this is what The CO2 emission is equivalent to 3.5Coal-fired power plants during the same period, or the equivalent of removing 2.9 million cars from the road for the same period (2013 to the end of 2020).[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]
