Initial Adoption. Applicable to project activities at existing
refineries that develop an alternate use for the energy content of
waste gas that is being flared in order to generate process heat,
replacing fossil fuel combustion. The following conditions apply
to this methodology:
• Recovered waste gases are used in the same refinery
facility;
• The project activity does not lead to an increase in the
production capacity of the refinery;
• Waste gas flow and composition are measureable;
• There should not be any addition of fuel gas or refinery
gas in the waste gas pipeline between the point of
recovery and the point where it is mixed in the fuel gas
system or used directly in an elemental process; and
• The recovery device is placed just before the flare header
and after all the waste gas generation devices.
The methodology is limited to applications
that result in emission reductions of less than
or equal to 60 ktonnes CO 2 equivalent
annually.
