Updated:1 year, 2 months ago

Kathmandu (Nepal), June 25 (ANI): Nepal’s Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli announced during a parliamentary session that the commercial production of methane gas in western Nepal is expected to commence in the next fiscal year. The announcement made by Nepal's Prime Minister on Tuesday came ahead of a detailed report on the site of the gas production, which is expected to be published by the end of the year. Last week, a preliminary study in the area estimated 1.12 billion cubic meters of natural gas in the Dailekh district of Western Nepal, which is yet to be studied in detail. Methane (CH4), composed of hydrogen and carbon, is a cleaner-burning fuel compared to petrol or diesel. It is a potent greenhouse gas, formed primarily through the decomposition of organic matter over long periods. Globally, methane is used as an energy source for heating, electricity generation, and industrial applications. Unlike liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), it cannot be easily compressed into small household cylinders and is typically stored in larger containers. ‘
