| Title: |
Utilize add-on technologies to decrease emissions of wellhead compressors |
| Text: |
"Wellhead compressors that are powered by natural gas emit NOx and VOCs [volatile organic compounds] (which contribute to ground-level ozone) and carbon monoxide. According to the federal Bureau of Land Management, there are add-on technologies, such as catalytic converters, that can reduce these emissions by as much as 95%.[4]" |
