Project Summary / Description:

The project was formed to mitigate concentrated sources of methane that qualify for carbon markets and are otherwise unregulated and unaddressed.
Sources include livestock manure ponds, methane from coal & Trona mines (active and abandoned)  estimated at emissions of 1.5-3.3 Gt / year, as well as natural sources and potentially runaway sources in the permafrost - which aren't scientifically quantified yet.

How Project Affects Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions:

We find concentrated sources of methane that are emanating into the atmosphere and install highly monitored flare or generator on it. By turning the methane to CO2, we mitigate 96% of the warming effect of the methane. Wherever possible, we can turn that heat into electricity in order to make productive use of the transition.
Our ARPA-e funded technology is much lower cost than alternatives, allowing more distributed sources to participate in carbon markets than was possible previously.

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

All our projects are within rural communities, often farming areas or historical coal areas. We provide additional revenue directly to the land owner via a revenue share, as well as provide jobs to local contractors to help with installation and maintenance of the projects.
