The plant has to buy a certain amount of fuel gas from an external company, when the plant trips" or "goes off line" the gas still needs to be used. The only way to get rid of it is to burn it.

A flare with no black smoke is a good indication that it is mostly clean burning fuel gas that is being burned.

The advocate had a blurb on the Dow flare over the weekend stating that the flaring was for shutdown operations

No, it means there isnt shite in it to produce black smoke like organic mass


Clean burning means the chemical combusts completely without organic residues left behind (which burn to produce black smoke)

These reactions still produce "greenhouse gasses".
