September's F+L Magazine Online is out.

The rich gas burned at U.S. compressor stations is worth far more than the fuel it provides — about USD 1 million a year per system, according to ColdStream Energy's Dr. Mathias Schlecht. He suggests bringing the data centre to the gas instead.

Also in this issue: how fuel mandates are rewriting Asia-Pacific policy, why the European Union's PFAS restriction runs into a materials wall in refining, and the fight over waste cooking oil now that sustainable aviation fuel has pushed it to EUR 1,117 a tonne.

Plus sponsored content from Afton Chemical on the PC-12 transition.
