Reductions in Ozone Concentrations due to Controls on Variability in Industrial Flare Emissions in Houston, Texas*

High concentrations of ozone in the Houston/Galveston area are associated with industrial plumes of highly reactive hydrocarbons mixed with NOx. The emissions leading to these plumes can have significant temporal variability, and photochemical modeling indicates that the emissions variability can lead to increases and decreases of 10–50 ppb, or more, in ozone concentrations. Therefore, in regio...

Market-Based Approaches to CO2 Emissions Reductions

Numerous proposals have surfaced promoting policies to limit U.S. emissions of gases like Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a primary contributor to climate change. One such proposal is Senate Bill 2191, the Lieberman-Warner Climate Security Act, which was introduced to the 110th Congress on October 18, 2007. Like many proposals to control greenhouse gas emissions, S. 2191 embraces a market-based approach ...

Mitigating climate change through reductions in greenhouse gas emissions: the science and economics of future paths for global annual emissions

Industrial emissions of 1,3-butadiene.

Sources of industrial emissions of 1,3-butadiene are discussed both by process (production, consumers) and type (equipment leaks, point sources). Quantification of the emissions are presented, as reported by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency in 1986. The reported emissions attributed to equipment leaks (also known as fugitive emissions) range from about 50 to 95% of the total, depending ...
