Nigeria's Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) announced that, effective January 1, 2025, all applicants for oil licenses and permits must demonstrate a commitment to low-carbon emissions and renewable energy.The new policy, guided by a newly released Upstream Petroleum Decarbonization Template (UPDT), aligns with Africa's largest oil producer's net-zero emissions target of 2060.Applicants will be required to provide evidence of methane management programs (including leak detection and repair), energy-efficient technologies, and the integration of renewable energy sources into their projects.

Nigeria has set a target to achieve net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2060. This commitment was made at COP26 in Glasgow and is part of Nigeria's broader climate change strategy. The country has also passed the Climate Change Act in 2021, which provides a framework for achieving low greenhouse gas emissions and sustainable growth.
