Flare Share

CO2/pollution benefits from our consolidated flare management at the Indepenence Facility will be GIGANTIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thousands of tons of pollution reduction.

‌

---“Everyone doesn’t need their own flare.”

• Jed Anderson, Environmental Entrepreneur

Times, circumstances, and technologies change.

The amount of extra CO2 and air pollution being generated by companies each operating their own flare in the Houston Ship Channel Area is gigantic.

---“The amount of natural gas being burned just to keep individual flares at each facility in the region lit and operating with enough heat value to burn whatever we might need to send them is gigantic … it’s a gigantic number. ”

• Flaring in the region produces over 1,000,000 tons of CO2e per year.

• Flaring in the region produces over 600 tons of NOx per year.
