ELI5 : why is there a tower with a burning flame at the top of it in every petrol plant ?
In: Engineering
I remember being told those are natural gasses that cant be captured.
And because just releasing them is very harmful ( heavy geen house effects ), they burn it instead ( slightly less green house effect ).
