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




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".

yes, like how fuel gas burns completey... because its fuel gas. burns fast and hot. If other process chemicals are vented that do not burn at that temp, or as fast, the black smoke is created. signaling an incomplete burn. Steam can be added to the flare to help produce a celan burn.
