Does AGR tech work on methane turbine generators? Shouldn't all methane-powered equipment have this AGR (or similar) new emission reduction technology? From https://www.ornl.gov/news/add-device-makes-home-furnaces-cleaner-safer-and-longer-lasting https://www.ornl.gov/news/add-device-makes-home-furnaces-cle... : > ORNL’s award-winning ultraclean condensing high-efficiency natural gas furnace features an affordable add-on technology that can remove more than 99.9% of acidic gases and other emissions. The technology can also be added to other natural gas-driven equipment. Develop an AGR Acidic Gas Reduction add-on part for methane turbines? Would (Solar Turbines,) consider selling an AGR emissions limiting product or add-on? ScholarlyArticle: "Nondestructive neutron imaging diagnosis of acidic gas reduction catalyst after 400-Hour operation in natural gas furnace" (2023) https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1385894722055796 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S13858... FWIU basically no generators have a catalytic converter, because catalytic converters require computer-controlled fuel ignition. There's also turquoise hydrogen; H Hydrogen from Methane CH4.

  There is no CO2. It produces carbon instead.
