SwRI, U-Michigan (U.S.) engineers create more effective burner to reduce methane emissions
Researchers at Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) and the University of Michigan (U-M) have published a new study showing an advanced new methane flare burner, created with additive manufacturing and machine learning, eliminates 98% of methane vented during oil production. The burner was designed by U-M engineering researchers and tested at SwRI.
Digital Feature: The reality of FuelEU in numbers
Today, many owners and managers are concerned with the EU Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), designed to reduce emissions produced by shipping. However, the author's company's projections show that the impact of FuelEU will eclipse that of the ETS around 2035 and dwarf it beyond that. Business as usual is therefore no longer an option, and progressive decisions must be made to deal with this challenge.
