Annually billions of cubic meters of natural gas are flared around the globe at various oil and gas production sites. Natural gas flaring practices waste valuable energy resources that can be used for economic support and will also be beneficial to mitigate global warming effects. In this review, an overview of natural gas flaring impacts with respect to the environment with special emphasis on global annual natural gas flaring emissions and their reformation to energy-efficient fuels has been discussed. Initially, natural gas flaring emissions and their impacts in view of environmental pollution and global warming effects have been highlighted. The strategies to mitigate wastage to valuable energy resources through various flaring management strategies are also evaluated. In the main stream, various gas flaring reductions and utilization technologies based on their applications in the oil and gas industry and especially for remote oil and gas fields are discussed. Liquified natural gas (LNG) and compressed natural gas (CNG) technologies have been identified as the main gas flaring reduction methods based on their applicability, commerciality, and economical potential. In addition, gas to liquid (GTL) has been an advancing technology for the past many years toward its utilization of methane as a feed and converting it to useful industrial products such as synthesis crude and methanol. Finally, reformation technologies for synthesis gas (syngas) production such as thermal reforming, plasma reforming, and photoreforming are deliberated. Based on feed gas mixture, different reforming processes such as steam reforming of methane (SRM), dry reforming of methane (DRM), and bi-reforming of methane (BRM) are evaluated for hydrogen-rich syngas production. The future perspectives regarding gas flaring utilization technologies advancement with further improvements in utilization of flared gas to efficient energy fuels are proposed.

“…In Middle East, where most of such refineries are operating, latest data reveal that almost all refineries are more than three decades old operating organizations, so it is very difficult to install heat recovery system and in this case, heat recovery system will not be sufficient to recover 100 per cent heat (Fisher, 2002). On the other hand, gas recovery system is a very efficient and promising new technology in this domain where maximum amount of gas can be recovered (Ziyarati, Bahramifar, Baghmisheh, & Younesi, 2019). Yet again, ‘gas-to-liquid technology’ (GTL) is a fitting substitute for lowering gas flaring.…”

Push for sustainability is evident in areas such as energy generation where the focus has been on finding new deposits to outpace drawdown on existing reserves. Gas flaring is employed by oil and gas industries to burn-off associated gasses from refineries, hydrocarbon processing plants or oil and gas reserve wells. It is one of the most taxing energies and environmental problems challenging the world today. Generally, safety flaring was dubbed as the saviour of process plants and mostly covers for sudden or unplanned plant trips. It is an opportunity to cut greenhouse gases (GHGs) from oil and gas processing plants through flare gas recovery (FGR) process. Oil and gas plants can employ diverse FGR procedures to offset key concerns about the environmental bearing of GHGs emanation most of which necessitating novel apparatus and extraordinary outlay of design and construction. In this study, apart from economic aspects, a real-life case study is extensively analysed to highlight exploration and adoption of optimizing FGR that may be beneficial if flare gas can be recovered, instead of burning. The output of the study may have a significant impact for refineries towards both economic and sustainability towards greening. In a nutshell, this study highlights the efficacy of reducing ‘flare gas system’ towards environment-friendly ‘greening’ aspect as the core of designing.

“…For example, the Air Pollution Control Action has obvious deterrent and regulatory effects on haze pollution [19,24]. Ziyarati, et al [25] highlighted that CO 2 and NO 2 emissions can be decreased based on processing plants of firms. Zhang and Wang [26] proved that energy-saving technologies can help to degrade pollutant emissions and improve product efficiency in the iron and steel sector.…”

Haze pollution impacts human health, as well as the competitive capabilities of firms and local economic development. Considerable attention has been given to the study of mechanisms for reducing haze pollution, but few studies have investigated the effect of city-to-city transportation infrastructures on environmental issues based on an institutional perspective. To address this research gap, this study advances our understanding by assessing the effect of city–to–city transportation on haze pollution caused by the operation of high-speed rail, which triggers the rapid flow of individuals and information, improves information transparency, as well as imposes institutional pressure on local governments and firms to reduce haze pollution. To further verify the underlying mechanisms, we tested the development of hard infrastructure (information communication technology) and soft infrastructure (market development level), which represent two conditions for which the mechanism is likely to be critical. We tested our hypotheses using a sample of 288 prefecture-level cities in China during the period from 2005 to 2016. The empirical results indicate that the operation of high-speed rail can reduce haze pollution by 17% on average.
