EMISSIONS OF CO2 AND CH4 IN ASMARI GAS COMPRESSOR STATION IN NATIONAL IRANIAN SOUTH OIL COMPANY USING EMISSION FACTOR
Introduction: Iran is located in the seventh rank in terms of CO2 emissions resulting from the combustion of fuel in the world. Asmari gas compressor station due to the several sources of contaminants are causing the release of large amounts of CO2 and CH4, which will cause damage to the environmen...

Introduction: Iran is located in the seventh rank in terms of CO2 emissions resulting from the combustion of fuel in the world. Asmari gas compressor station due to the several sources of contaminants are causing the release of large amounts of CO2 and CH4, which will cause damage to the environment and a change in the weather conditions.
