GHG Calculation Methodology<br />

• Calculation of instantaneous GHG emission<br />

1. Given fuel composition and operational parameters<br />

(flare diameter, exit velocity, wind speed), use<br />

parametric model to calculate efficiency (η)(<br />

2. Use fuel composition and modeled CO/fuel split<br />

parameter (γ)(<br />

) to find mass emission rate of CH 4 and<br />

CO<br />

3. Use IPCC global warming potential values to<br />

calculate instantaneous GHG emission<br />
