Figure 1: Ethane mixing ratios in firn air at three sites, and the atmospheric histories derived from these measurements. Figure 2: Ethane source emissions and the resulting atmospheric histories.

A new Competitive Power Ventures gas-fired power plant in Pennsylvania has been adapted to use ethane in its combustion mix. The Fairview Energy Center successfully completed ethane testing and is now ...
