Fugitive Emissions

Fugitive emissions refer to unintended releases of gases or vapors from industrial equipment, such as pipes, valves, and tanks. These emissions occur outside of regular operations, often due to leaks or equipment malfunctions. They can contain pollutants like methane or other greenhouse gases, contributing to environmental pollution and climate change. Managing fugitive emissions involves regular inspections, maintenance, and repair to prevent leaks, helping industries reduce their environmental impact and comply with regulations. Essentially, they are unintentional leaks of gases that escape into the atmosphere from industrial sources.
