It was a routine practice for over a year to use an emergency flare gun to re-light the flare tower at the refinery designed to burn off toxic gases and provide for the safe combustion of potentially explosive chemicals; because the pilot light was not functioning properly, employees would take turns trying to shoot the flare gun to relight the explosive gasses;

The use of landfill gas for energy purposes or its destruction by means of an ordinary flare is often not possible due to the low methane concentration.

That flared natural gas is plentiful in Nigeria has not meant plentiful power for Nigerians.

Landfill methane emission rates are estimated using the first - order decay method recommended by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), in order to estimate both total emissions reductions for landfill gas - to - electricity generation and an increase in landfill gas flaring.

Their figures revealed that the amount of CO2 we put into the atmosphere from burning fossil fuels, gas flaring and cement production has held steady for three years in a row.

The UK energy department said that while alight the flare remained a risk despite prevailing winds blowing the gas cloud away from the flame for the foreseeable future.

Fossil Fuel is a generic term that isn't quite correct Natural Gasoline is a distilled derivative of oil but almost all ofit is manufactured from cracked and recombined oil derivativeswhile natural gasoline is further refined intoPropane, butane, Proproline (a plastics feed stock), and Natural gasand also separates out sulfur (for fertilizer and explosives) Gasoline can be made from coal («Coaline») or from organic matter («Bio-fuel») but uses a few of oil based feed stocks instead tomake «Sythiline» (artificial gasoline) This gasoline is actually cleaner burning then natural gas with allit's «flare offs» (butane, propane, propoline, sulfur) used in theearly 19th century because it is manufactured only with essentialHydrocarbons Diesel fuel is also becoming more and more Manufactured instead ofdistilled as demand for it rises but improvements in Hydro cleaningis allowing for diesel with no volatile chemicals like sulfur andmercury (taken out for petro - chemical feedstock to make fertilizerand thermometers) In both cases what you have is pure hydro - carbons, a carbon atomwith hydrogen atoms attached to it In the case of gasoline there is CH1, cH7, CH11 When in a combustion engine the gasoline is sprayed into the pistonafter being mixed with air and the drive of the engine compressesthe the chamber filled with the gasoline mist until it's full downstoke then the spark plug causes the Exothermic reaction... which isthe conversion of the potential energy in the gasoline mist to heatand force, with the force side of that equation shooting the pistonupward and the top of the stroke kicking what's left of thecaramelized gasoline mist out into the Emission control box If the Emulsion control box wasn't there to filter out the burntgasoline particles, any potential additives and volatile chemicalsthen the caramelized gunk hitting air would create CARBON MONOXIDEin the cooler then the heat of the engine difference CARBON MONOXIDE can also become a problem if the Emissions controlBox filter, air filters or muffler filters is worn or damaged.

In the case of natural gas flaring, the production of oil is often accompanied by «associated gas», and if there is no infrastructure for the «secondary» energy resource, and no plan to make use of the «secondary» resource, then it effectively has no economic existence but can have an environmental existence.

Article on latest World Bank findings (pointing out that the North Dakota is now a significant location of natural gas flaring as a result of development of the Bakken Shale for oil):

The natural gas is typically flared because there is no infrastructure to transport the natural gas and / or there is not enough demand for the natural gases in the local / regional market.

The first recently unveiled global satellite survey of gas flaring — a process commonly used to dispose of natural gas freed during oil production — has shown what many have now suspected for years: it is an extremely wasteful, costly problem that has helped contribute to global warming.

Estimates produced for about 60 countries around the world revealed that gas flaring has remained largely stable over the last 12 years — in the range of 150 - 170 billion cubic meters annually — although 22 mostly lesser developed countries increased its use over that period (on the other hand, 16 other countries decreased its use).

Instead of simply flaring the gas, the methane gas can be used to create clean, renewable energy for electricity and alternative gas uses.

What's possibly the best legal case against natural gas flaring is that people aren't getting paid for all the gas being intentionally wasted.

As I pointed out here, CAGR for CO2 emissions from coal, oil, natural gas, flaring, and cement production averaged 3.08 % for the period 2000 - 2010, peaking to 6 % in 2003 over 2002 (though there was no hysteria that time) and again in 2010 over 2009 (much unwarranted hysteria about a single year, even by professionals but perhaps overblown by the media as usual who may have been selective about who they quoted!).

The worksheets available below constitute the details each entity's production of oil & NGLs, natural gas, coal, and cement from as early as 1854 to 2010, as well as additional sources of emissions (such as vented CO2, flared CO2, own fuel use, and vented or fugitive methane), non-energy uses of oil, gas, and coal, emission factors for each fuel, calculation of emissions attributed to each Carbon Major producer, and several summary worksheets by fuel and for cumulative emissions by all entities.

The World Bank reports that for the first time since 2008 global gas flaring has increased, with the blame placed on increased shale gas drilling in North Dakota.
