As carbon credit markets evolve, a new model for orphan well remediation is gaining traction—project developers structuring and financing methane reduction entirely through carbon crediting, without operating in the field. In a year defined by tightening standards and shifting funding landscapes, this session explores how credit-based strategies are delivering credible outcomes, scaling across the Southwest, and opening new pathways for investment in legacy well closure.
This session explores how remote, credit-based models are accelerating methane reductions across the Southwest—and what it takes to make those projects real, reliable, and scalable in 2025.
