AMERICAN CARBON REGISTRY

This award is bestowed upon the American Carbon Registry (ACR), recognising its pioneering efforts in addressing specific hard-to-abate methane emission sources. This commendation particularly highlights its detailed methodology developed for the sealing of orphaned oil and gas wells, a critical and often overlooked environmental challenge.

This innovative methodology effectively incentivises and finances immediate mitigation actions by rigorously generating high-quality carbon credits. Crucially, it ensures additionality for a pervasive problem that frequently lacks other viable resolution mechanisms, thereby driving real and verifiable climate impact where it is most needed.

The standard's robust quality and unwavering integrity are consistently validated by independent bodies, cementing ACR's position as a leading programme. This steadfast commitment to methodological excellence and transparent verification renders it capable of mobilising vital capital towards critical climate solutions, making a tangible difference in global methane reduction efforts.
