Emissions Reduction: Gas-to-Power

Gran Tierra’s ongoing effort to reduce direct emissions by converting associated gas produced from its wells into an energy source for its operations, continues to generate results. Additionally, converting gas to electricity significantly reduces the demand on municipal utilities, increases fiscal resilience by lowering unit production costs, and provides a more stable energy supply, while reducing flaring and greenhouse gas emissions.

The Company’s Gas-to-Power (G2P) program has significantly reduced emissions intensity over the last few years by using produced natural gas to produce electricity, reduce flaring, and significantly reduce the need to purchase, transport, and burn diesel fuel.  When excess power is produced, GTE can provide additional electricity to the local grid helping residents and stabilizing energy sources. 80% of the produced gas from our South American operations in 2024 was used for energy.

With all major fields fully converted, GTE has turned its attention towards generating gas power at its smaller locations and in Ecuador. GTE began its G2P implementation in Ecuador in 2024, further contributing to the reduction of GHG emissions, flare volumes, and costs related to diesel consumption. This initiative supports GTE’s ongoing efforts to produce oil with the minimum possible associated GHG emissions and eliminating routine flaring at the Company’s facilities.
