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
