Dr. Talal Debs, CEO of Zefiro Methane Corp, was a featured speaker at the United Nations’ 2024 Climate Change Conference (COP29) held in Baku, Azerbaijan. During his participation in the Sustainable Innovation Forum, Dr. Debs highlighted Zefiro’s efforts to meet the increasing demand for high-quality carbon offset products. He emphasized the company’s commitment to expanding its abandoned oil and gas well remediation operations across North America, which are partly funded by a diverse carbon credit portfolio.
Dr. Debs also served as a presenter and panelist at the International Emissions Trading Association’s (IETA) official COP29 event, focusing on scaling large-scale methane mitigation through market-based approaches. He underscored Zefiro’s unique ability to forge an expanding oil and gas well plugging operation, which is crucial for reducing methane emissions1. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and addressing these emissions is vital for mitigating climate change.
Joining Dr. Debs on the panel were notable figures such as Lorna Ritche, Policy Director for the Integrity Council for the Voluntary Carbon Market, and Olga Hancock, Head of Responsible Investment at the Church Commissioners for England. Their discussions centered on navigating net zero with carbon removals and voluntary strategies, showcasing Zefiro’s innovative approach to methane abatement and its alignment with global efforts to achieve net-zero targets.
