INFLATION REDUCTION ACT (IRA) – LOW-COST SOLUTION FOR UPCYCLING FLARE GAS TO FERTILIZER THE OBJECTIVE OF THIS AWARD IS TO ADAPT ITS CORE METHANE BIOCONVERSION TECHNOLOGY TO DEPLOY A FULL-SCALE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO OPERATE AS A FLARE REPLACEMENT SYSTEM ON AN OPERATING OIL PRODUCTION SITE. THIS SYSTEM WILL REDUCE THE CONTRIBUTIONS OF METHANE EMISSIONS CAUSED BY UNWANTED GAS BEING FLARED IN THE UNITED STATES BY GATHERING WELL-SITE GAS THAT WOULD OTHERWISE BE EMITTED OR FLARED AND FACILITATING THE BENEFICIAL USE OF THE GAS BY CONVERSION (UPCYCLING) TO HIGH-VALUE ORGANIC FERTILIZER THAT CAN BE MORE EASILY TRANSPORTED OFF-SITE. THIS SYSTEM WILL DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE METHANE AND CARBON DIOXIDE (CO2) EMISSIONS ASSOCIATED WITH CURRENT FLARING AND PROVIDE LOCAL BENEFITS.
