Sasol and General Electric (GE: NYSE)’s GE Power & Water have together developed new technology that will clean waste water from Fischer-Tropsch plants used to produce synthetic fuels and chemicals, while also providing biogas as a by-product for power generation. This then results in an overall efficiency improvement in the GTL process.

Super-emitters are facilities, equipment, and other infrastructure, typically in the fossil-fuel, waste, or agriculture sectors, that emit methane at high rates. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is much more effective at trapping heat in the atmosphere than carbon dioxide. The instrument can also measure carbon dioxide.
