EPA Introduces Rule to Limit VOC Emissions from FrackingToday the EPA finally introduced long-delayed regulations requiring natural gas companies to utilize technologies that reduce or eliminate the emission of smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCS) from fracking. The rule will be rolled out in two stages - the first of which goes into effect in 60 days, and will require newly fracked or refracked wells to use either flaring or green completion technologies to control their emissions. From January 1, 2015 on, all new fracking ventures will be required to use green completion methods, whereby gases which can have devastating health impacts when released are instead recaptured to be be treated and sold....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/epa-introduces-regulations-limiting-emissions-from-hydraulic-fracturing/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
