1. A computer-implemented method for determining a flaring efficiency estimate, the computer-implemented method comprising:
receiving operations data representing operations of a plant;
generating a simulation model of the plant based at least in part on the operations data;
applying the simulation model of the plant to determine a first flaring efficiency estimate;
receiving captured image data of a flare flame associated with the plant;
analyzing the captured image data to determine a second flaring efficiency estimate; and
determining the flaring efficiency estimate based on at least one of the first flaring efficiency estimate and the second flaring efficiency estimate.
