Emission management
This paper presents a flexible, highly cost- and energy-efficient method of gas separation and CO₂ capture from many different gas mixtures with a large range of CO₂ concentrations.
Emissions management covers a wide array of topics such as carbon capture, use, and storage; emissions monitoring; flare management; methods to improve operational efficiency; carbon accounting; and the effect of emissions management on global and local economics. The papers published in the past year span all these subcategories.
This study explores the carbon-capture and mineralization potential of ultramafic rock powders when exposed to flue gases generated from combustion of crude oil and mesquite-derived charcoal.

Methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, is leaking from industry sites at rates equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of France and Germany combined, a new analysis using satellite data shows. -
A system proposed by researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, uses hyperspectral imaging and machine learning to detect the specific wavelength of methane emissions.

Oil and gas industry expansions could add as much greenhouse gas pollution as the equivalent of 50 coal plants by 2025—with much of that increase coming from Texas and Louisiana—at a time when pressure to slow down global warming rises, a new report found.
