Emissions and Energy: An Interview with Lewis Black, Almonty Industries

Many industries have seen their ups and downs over the last few years, and will likely continue to do so while conversation regarding energy transitions, changing U.S. policies, and the push towards more sustainable infrastructure, are prevalent.

New Mexico Environment Department Ozone Precursor Rule: Natural Gas Processing Plants LDAR Implications

Environmental regulations are becoming increasingly stringent at both the state and federal levels. The oil & gas sector and fugitive emissions are arguably under the biggest regulatory spotlight in 2022. As required monitoring frequencies are increased, alternative monitoring methods become more cost effective than traditional ones.

Joseph Witherspoon, Chief Technology Officer: Efficient, Environmentally-Conscious Energy

Is there a way to produce energy in a more green, environmentally-friendly way, while still prioritizing efficiency and output? This is a key question circulating throughout the natural gas industry, and cutting edge research at Frontier Applied Sciences might just hold an answer.

Reducing Methane Emissions in Canada An Interview with Jan Gorski, Director of Oil &...

Methane is emitted from energy industries, agriculture, waste management activities, and personal activity. Fugitive Emissions Journal was pleased to speak with Jan Gorski, Director of Oil & Gas at the Pembina Institute, to learn about methane policy initiatives in Canada.

A Missions to Reduce Emissions: The Generational Impact of Bray

Continuous Monitoring Systems and Emission Systems (CMS/CEMS): On the Cutting-Edge of Safety and Industrial...

Whether it is at the behest of the community, site workers, or company leadership, implementing a continuous monitoring system (CMS) is a strategic move with regulatory, safety, and industrial hygienic benefits. A CMS detects and measures volatile, air toxic, and hazardous compounds in ambient air within and around a facility.

Sources of GHGs and Ways to Reduce Them: Part Two

In 1987, the United Nations defined sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.” In 2005, the acronym ESG - Environmental, Social Responsibility, and Governance – was coined and in many conversations is interpreted to mean ‘environmental sustainability.’

Recent Advancements in Bottom-Up Quantification of Fugitive Emissions Using Optical Gas Imaging

Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) technology has proven to be a very useful technology for detecting and visualizing small gas leaks in petroleum refineries and other oil & gas facilities.

How The EPA’s Increased Monitoring Could Affect A Facility

Monitoring air emissions at U.S. industrial facilities historically has been based on monitoring individual emissions sources, such as periodic stack testing for stack emissions, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s (EPA’s) Method 21 for emissions from LDAR components, and CEMS.

How to Ensure Stress-Free Stack Testing

Environmental Managers (EMs) are often required to burn the candle at both ends. Especially in trying times when many job positions are unfilled, EMs are not only the point at which the buck stops for the environmental protection activities of a company, but also the health and safety requirements.
