Russia flaring off large amounts of natural gas

They say the plant, near the border with Finland, is burning an estimated $10m (£8.4m) worth of gas every day.
Experts say the gas would previously have been exported to Germany.
quote:
The analysis by Rystad Energy indicates that around 4.34 million cubic metres of gas are being burned by the flare every day.
It is coming from a new liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant at Portovaya, north-west of St Petersburg.
The first signs that something was awry came from Finnish citizens over the nearby border who spotted a large flame on the horizon earlier this summer.
Portovaya is located close to a compressor station at the start of the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which carries gas under the sea to Germany.
quote:
Supplies through the pipeline have been curtailed since mid-July, with the Russians blaming technical issues for the restriction. Germany says it was purely a political move following Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
But since June, researchers have noted a significant increase in heat emanating from the facility - thought to be from gas flaring, the burning of natural gas.

Building a pipeline thru countries that have been fighting wars on and off for centuries. Great plan

Wait til they sanction Russia for emissions

Looks like the view west when Norco is burning gas.
I never understood why it was burned off and not captured for sale.

Is this Russia's version of giving Europe the bird from just across the border?

Just giving them the ol middle finger. You know, communicating.

You can see it from Hwy 90 in Des Allemands when they flaring. I think of all the money they just letting burn up.

Costs more to deal with than it's worth.

From the article.
quote:
Scientists are concerned about the large volumes of carbon dioxide and soot it is creating, which could exacerbate the melting of Arctic ice.

The entire article dances around Germany being posses all that has isn’t going to them but focuses on the environment.

Someone needs to tell them Germany's CO2 emissions are way down.

I know I would see the flares often but I didn't know they were doing it that frequently.

It’s not exactly easy to just “capture” 150 million cubic feet of gas per day. You need somewhere to put it.
ETA: If you’re talking about flares at plants/refineries (as opposed to the OP) the flare is a safety system and long term flaring comes with big penalties. If they had a cost-effective way to re-route that stream to storage or back to the process they wouldn’t be flaring in the first place.

At a plant its off gas from process, not methane that comes to your house. You dont wanna burn it
