Q

How can we stop the release of C02 into the atmosphere?

WHY are countries choosing to flare instead of capture C02?

A

Ultimately, the underlying cause is always the same: an oversupply of associated gas in a place or at a time where the demand for gas is too low and commercialization is too difficult.

Q

What’s the big deal?

A
  1. Burns off excess gas that can’t be sold which is a waste of a valuable resource
  2. Releases carbon dioxide into the air
  3. It could release H2S if already in gas
  4. Global warming and acid rain
  5. Smells sounds and lighting up the air
