In the latest edition of The Overview, we dive into the Waste Emissions Charge (WEC), a key methane fee under the Inflation Reduction Act, and what repealing the rule implementing it signals for climate policy, the oil & gas industry, and global emissions reductions. The WEC was set to charge oil & gas companies for methane leaks, potentially cutting 1.2 million metric tons of emissions by 2035—the equivalent of removing 8 million cars from the road for a year. So, what happens next? Will market forces, international regulations, and new technologies step in where policy falls short? We break it all down. Read the full analysis in The Overview—subscribe and stay ahead of the conversation.

Congratulations to Elio on announcing your raise. We're excited to be a part of your journey! #Sustainability #Pharma #Manufacturing #SupplyChains #AI #EcoDesign #ClimateTech
???Sustainability isn't just a goal—it’s a design challenge. Elio was built to pioneer that. We’ve secured $2M in funding to embed eco-design ?? directly into pharma manufacturing. Why now? Because the healthcare industry pollutes 2x as much as aviation [1]. Because 80% of a product's total environmental impact is locked in at the manufacturing design stage [2]. In pharma, these early decisions shape entire supply chains for decades. We’re here to power those decisions with a platform built by scientists and engineers, for scientists and engineers. With Elio, the “eco” is embedded into design from day one. We are not only working closely with innovators like pharma CDMO ten23 health to shape the product, but also driving industry-wide collaboration on sustainable manufacturing. Together with Cytiva, ten23 health, My Green Lab, Magnus Blomberg and others, we are building eco-design solutions that require a connected approach across the value chain. Our journey so far wouldn’t have been possible without the support of Ananda Impact Ventures, as well as Overview and Cerulean Ventures. We are also incredibly grateful for the support of pioneering leaders including Stefan Oschmann, former CEO of #Merck, and Andreas Treichl. Beyond that, we are backed by many other supporters including syndicates We\R and RHEINEST/N & V Capital, #Lilium co-founder Dr. Patrick Nathen, #Taulia co-founders Maex Ament & Philip Stehlik, and many more. This journey is about much more than software. It’s about reshaping an entire industry and its supply chains from the ground up. We’re here to disrupt — not just the present but a future that grows more urgent by the day. In that future, sustainability is resilience. #Sustainability #Pharma #AI #EcoDesign #ClimateTech #Startup #Fundraise ??: Patryk Sikora

Xplorobot achieved US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval for their methane detection technology. A huge accomplishment - congratulations team!
Super excited to announce that the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has approved Xplorobot as the component-level methane Leak Detection and Repair (LDAR) solution! See our approved ATM procedure at the #EPA website: https://lnkd.in/gdV5fSRS This milestone marks significant progress in advancing cost-effective, efficient, and scalable methane emissions detection. Here’s what it means for the industry: ? 1. Approved for all OGI applications: ? Routine OOOOa/b/c inspections Follow-up surveys after aerial or perimeter detections Post-repair verifications Subpart W leak/no leak inspections ? 2. Can be used by any operator: Just three hours of training—no certification needed! 3.?Smarter and more affordable: Our #data platform enables immediate notifications upon leak detection, tracking and re-certifications of the repairs , and automated #LDAR reporting. Most importantly, we deliver 30% to 50% cost savings for #LDAR programs based on in-field efficiency and low hardware costs. ? https://lnkd.in/gG8Umchx Contact us to learn more and explore how we can support your #emissions #reduction goals. ?__ #methaneemissions #mitigation #methane #EPA

Thrilled to share that Jessica Shumlich, Thomas Fox, and the incredible Highwood Emissions Management team have launched their game-changing Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP)! This innovative platform sets a new standard for creating consistent, auditable, compliant, and actionable methane inventories. Huge congratulations to the team on this milestone achievement! We're proud and honored to support you in driving meaningful change!
Today we are excited to announce the launch of our Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP), a software platform that streamlines complex measurement-informed methane emissions accounting and reporting for the oil and gas industry. Developed collaboratively from day one with a steering committee of leading international energy companies, EIP builds auditable, consistent, and framework-compliant methane inventories that comply with global methane initiatives and regulations like UNEP OGMP 2.0, EU import requirements, MiQ, Veritas, and more. This one-of-a-kind SaaS was co-designed with input from the?Emissions Intelligence Steering Committee (EISC), which includes some of the world’s largest energy companies. This collaboration ensures that the platform directly addresses the challenges faced by O&G companies, from managing reputational risks to improving operational efficiency. Learn more about the platform and request a brochure via the link below! https://lnkd.in/gvuzGRrj

Spark is excited to announce four research awards from the first round of our Exploratory Grants for Atmospheric Methane Research funding opportunity, enabling research into two entirely new biological approaches and further core atmospheric chemistry research to improve our understanding of current oxidation dynamics and inform future development of additional methane removal approaches. Grantees include: —?Arlene Fiore (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) will explore how the capacity of the atmosphere to breakdown methane will change as the composition of the atmosphere responds to perturbations such as decreasing fossil fuel burning, increasing use of hydrogen as a fuel source, climate change, and other anthropogenic and natural trends. —?Vincent Gauci (University of Birmingham) will advance understanding of the contribution from tree-based methane-consuming microbes to the global methane sink, and investigate approaches to enhance that sink, potentially unlocking new pathways to address growing atmospheric methane concentrations. —?Jesse Kroll (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) will explore the potential for chlorinated compounds to serve as marker species to quantify existing atmospheric methane oxidation pathways. If successful, this research could lead to a transformational new measurement approach to improve our understanding of atmospheric processes that breakdown methane and other pollutants. —?Eli Hornstein (Elysia Creative Biology) will explore the possibility of expressing the enzyme that methane-consuming bacteria use to break down methane in crop plants, enabling plants to break down methane in the air. In addition to priority work that must happen to reduce anthropogenic methane removals, methane removal could be a critical tool to reduce near-term warming and address potential increases in natural methane emissions. The field is still in its early stages and no approaches are yet ready for deployment. In the last few years there has been growing interest and engagement from the scientific community. There was an even more ambitious response from the scientific community to the second round of Spark’s Exploratory Grants funding opportunity, and awards for the second round, which closed in June 2024, will be announced later this summer.

Congratulations to Emmanuel Kasseris, PhD and the team at Emvolon !
We’re thrilled to share that our team at Emvolon was selected through ARPA-E's GREENWELLS program to develop an advanced chemical reactor that can store renewable energy as low-carbon fuels through an approach called renewables-to-liquids. ?? Beyond Zero Carbon: Emvolon is producing carbon-negative fuels and chemicals today. By converting greenhouse gas emissions into carbon-negative fuels like green methanol and green ammonia, we are repurposing car engines as cost-effective, modular chemical plants. Maritime, aviation, energy, waste management, and agriculture power the global economy. Emvolon will help them power it without emissions. ?? Join Us on Our Mission: Contact us to learn more about Emvolon and how we are driving the transition to a sustainable, carbon-negative future. #greenfuels #methanol #ammonia #decarbonization #emissions Learn more about GREENWELLS: https://lnkd.in/gF5u4Dpn #ARPAEGREENWELLS
