Flaring of Natural Gas (Methane) is bad for the environment! Please Join our Group!

StoptheFlares.org
The first and only organization working solely on the elimination of Natural Gas Flares and venting!

Stop the flares is organized to stop flaring by elevating awareness, increasing research and implementing proven solutions to get results. Stop the Flares will eliminate all flares worldwide by the 2020.

A flare is ignited natural gas (methane).

Flares are the result of a wasteful practice from the energy industry and other industrial pursuits. When energy companies locate oil reserves, in many cases both oil and gas are contained in the well. In many locations, natural gas can not be transported to a market. In these cases, natural gas is “in the way” and is considered “stranded.”

Stranded gas thus becomes a simple economic equation:
Does the gas have economic value, yes or no? When the answer is no the gas is “in the way” or stranded.

Stranded gas may be released directly into the atmosphere or may be ignited, thus releasing carbon gas. Currently the world flares approximately 1/4th of the United States Natural Gas Usage and 1/3rd of the European Union.1

Flares waste precious fuel! Flares increase the world’s greenhouse gas footprint.

StoptheFlares.org is dedicated to stopping the world’s flares by the year 2020. With you help and support we shall succeed.
