North Dakota's Department of Commerce would pass $540,000 of State Energy Program/American Recovery and Reinvest Act funding to Blaise Energy for a Flare Gas to Electricity Commercial Viability project. Blaise Energy would use turbine generators to transform wellhead flare gas into three-phase electricity. This process would use the flare gas to generate electricity and would reduce emissions caused by the flaring of the waste gas.
