... Abstract Combustion of fossil fuels are the main source of man-made Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions. Weather it is in power generation or manufacturing industries; weather in ground transportation or aviation, wherever fossil fuels are burnt to produce energy, GHGs (particularly CO 2...

... Abstract EPA testing has suggested that actual storage tank emissions are higher than reported. As a result, the EPA has proposed the Next Generation Compliance document that has significant impacts on hazardous air pollutant (HAP) storage tanks in a wide range of industries. The Next...

... by the excessive greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), particularly carbon byproducts. Several solutions have been proposed to reduce the carbon emissions. In this paper, we investigate the effectiveness of an Emission Trading System (ETS), with a case study on the European implementation of this approach. Our approach...

... Abstract For decades, downstream hydrocarbon production facilities have been faced with compliance with the EPA Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) fugitive emissions program. Now the upstream business must comply with the New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for VOC emissions for the oil...

As the development activities become more production oriented, facilities will be more likely to undergo regular maintenance, and the potential for air emissions will increase accordingly. In recent years, the EPA has been working to reduce air...
