dc.description.abstractLake Kivu is situated between the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) and Rwanda. It is known to contain large amount of dissolved carbon dioxide and methane. It is termed a killer lake due to the toxic nature of these gases, which could emerge on the surface during a catastrophic eruption and cause massive devastation in this region. Extracting these toxic gases proves to be crucial to avoid natural disasters and to afford economic benefits in the form of electricity generation or energy export.
