Profit From Capturing Methane Emissions
The oil and gas industries’ routinely flares and engineers vents release unexpectedly large amounts of methane gas despite emergent regulations. Yet the business opportunities from capturing those emissions and turning them into value could be worth tens of billions of dollars a year. Such business-led, market-driven methane abatement would also create large and rapid environmental benefits. In this 90-minute webinar, Amory Lovins will lead a call for action to address this significant environmental, health and GHG vulnerability and business opportunity. Panelists include Wiley Rhodes, CEO of the Newpoint Companies and Alice Madden executive director of the Getches-Wilkinson Center for Natural Resources, Energy, and the Environment (GWC) at the University of Colorado Law School.
