Why Generate Electricity from Flare Gas?
Power generation from flare gas presents an opportunity for:
- Reduction in emissions of hazardous chemicals
- Reduction in Kyoto or other environmental commitments
- Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions
- Improvement in health through reduction of respiratory disease
- Reduced political pressure on the government
- Reduced potential for total “brown outs” by contributing distributed electrical energy sources
- Revenue generating use of a “free” resource that otherwise
causes problems - Just 7c/kWh = $19.44/GJ
Benefits of distributed generation interconnection:
- Increased Reliability
- System Voltage Support
- Reduced Transmission/Distribution Costs
- Increased Energy Efficiency
- Environmental Emissions Reduction
- New Technology Applications
- Other
Can resolve environmental issues:
- Can improve profitability by using a wasted resource
- Can reduce greenhouse gas emissions
- Can reduce environmental health issues
- Cogeneration and Distributed Generation is key to efficient resource production
- New, efficient environmentally friendly, Distributed Generation technologies have been developed
- Can gain more public and landowner support
- Can improve power reliability
- Can be used to access shut in oil/gas to further increase
profitability
