For context, the facility liquefies 15 million tons of methane per year [1].
Also for context, the annual US VOC emissions in 2021 were 12 million tons [2].
353 tons is 0.003% of that.

- toomuchtodo 4y agoThis seems fairly reasonable unless someone can provide evidence that it would be commercially reasonable to further reduce those 353 tons emitted. 0 is an unlikely number, but I would be interested in seeing what the emissions reductions costs are between 0 and 353.
