Former Director of Guyana’s Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), Dr. Vincent Adams yesterday waded into both government and ExxonMobil for the recent announcement that excessive gas flaring from offshore oil operations will attract a fine of US$30 per Co2 equivalent, calling it a window for pollution.
“It’s a shameful capitulation to ExxonMobil’s original justification for flaring that because Guyana is a carbon sink, we have the capacity to take in more pollutants from flaring,” Adams told Stabroek News.
