Our Projects

• More than 3.7 million wells in the US are abandoned, unplugged and potentially leaking methane.

• Methane is responsible for at least 25% of the rise in global temperatures.

• Methane absorbs heat 120 times more efficiently than CO2, making it 82.5 times more potent than a greenhouse gas.

• In addition to significant methane emissions, unplugged wells pose many health, safety and environmental risks, including toxic water, air hazards, flash fires, vapor cloud explosions and pool fire hazards.

• Permanently plugging these wells eliminates these hazards as well as the risk of further methane emissions.

Avoidance Offsets

There are many co-benefits associated with this project besides stopping the methane leaks:

• removal of potential liabilities for state governments, local communities and tax payers

• soil regeneration

• increased biodiversity

• improved water quality

• improved air quality

• improved human health conditions

• job creation
