Our Projects
What We Do
We mitigate methane emitting wells within the United States. Below are samples of some of our projects either completed or in progress. Additional details can be found in the individual Project Design Description and Monitoring Reports (PDDMRs) and will be made available during partner or buyer due diligence. All projects are classified as carbon avoidance credits and conform to the rigorous International Carbon Registry’s (ICR) methodology requirements and ISO 14064-2 principles for Methane Emissions Prevention via Permanent Abandonment of Marginal Oil and Natural Gas Wells. Projects are, or will be, listed on the ICR site and have been or will be 3rd-party verified by Carbon Check.
Methodology Objectives:
- Permanently seal marginal oil wells to eliminate of measured fugitive methane emissions.
- Verify emissions reductions through pre- and post-abandonment measurement using specialized sensors and detectors.
- Restore well sites to environmentally stable conditions, suitable for agricultural or conservation use.
- Create measurable, high-quality carbon credits under the ICR program for sale in the voluntary carbon market.
- Deliver co-benefits in public health, water protection, and local employment in well service and environmental remediation.
Expected Outcomes:
Over the fixed 10-year crediting period, projects are expected to prevent a calculated amount of tCO2e in methane emissions. Benefits expected over a 50-year timeframe include:
- long-term climate impact reduction through methane abatement.
- Improved air and water quality in the project area.
- Restoration of degraded land for beneficial future use.
- Support of rural economic development through skilled local job creation.
Project-specific criteria and procedures, with evidence that these criteria conform to ICR requirements and ISO 14064-2 principles, proposes a groundbreaking approach to methane abatement by permanently closing marginal oil and natural gas wells. By creating ICCs (Independent Carbon Credits) as financial incentives for the permanent closure of marginal oil and natural gas wells, this strategy addresses the lack of economic motivation for operators to undertake this costly, non-revenue-generating activity. By incentivizing the avoidance of hydrocarbon emissions, it aims to prevent the release of greenhouse gases (GHGs) like methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere.
This approach not only addresses the immediate issue of fugitive emissions but also tackles the long-term problem of CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion, offering a significant opportunity for global climate change mitigation.
Our Reinvestment Cycle
When you buy our credits, it funds our work on our next project and helps to prevent methane emissions from damaging the atomosphere and surrounding ecosystems. This monitization cycle continues as corporations and individuals buy and utilize our carbon credits.
Your dollars allow us to mitigate more methane which creates more credits which are purchased and funds more projects. It becomes a self-fulfilling cycle….thanks to your participation!
Your purchase makes a difference!
