Methane Matters. Your Offsets Should Too.
Methane - The Invisible Elephant In The Room
84x More Heat Than CO₂

30% of Global Warming
Despite being present in smaller quantities than CO₂, methane has contributed about 30% of total global warming to date. Source: United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), 2021
Lifetime Is Only 12 Years
Methane’s Atmospheric Lifetime Is Only ~12 Years. Because methane breaks down faster than CO₂, cutting methane emissions has near-immediate climate benefits—unlike CO₂, which persists for centuries. Source: U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
Fastest Way to Slow Warming
Reducing Methane Is the Fastest Way to Slow Global Warming. A 2021 UN report declared that cutting methane emissions is the strongest lever to slow climate change in the short term. Source: Global Methane Assessment, UNEP and Climate & Clean Air Coalition
Largest Industrial Source
Oil & Gas Sector Is the Largest Industrial Source of Methane Emissions. In the U.S., the oil and gas sector accounts for about 30% of methane emissions, making it a major mitigation target—especially through well plugging. Source: U.S. EPA, Greenhouse Gas Inventory
1 Ton Methane = 84 Tons of CO
1 Ton of Methane Reduced = Up to 84 Tons of CO₂ Equivalent. This multiplier effect makes methane reductions highly valuable in the carbon credit market and for corporate ESG reporting. Source: IPCC AR5 (Fifth Assessment Report)
Methane Is the Climate Accelerant—We’re the Brake.
Pioneering Methane Abatement
American Methane Reduction (AMR) is leading the charge against one of the most urgent climate challenges: methane emissions. With a global warming potential 25-84 times greater than CO2, methane demands immediate action. AMR delivers by permanently plugging orphaned and abandoned wells, ensuring lasting reductions that drive real climate impact.
Our carbon credits are crafted with integrity, adhering to the highest standards of transparency, permanence, and additionality. Using best-in-class well-plugging techniques and rigorous monitoring, we guarantee every credit represents a measurable reduction. Our blockchain-powered platform, in partnership with Northern Trust, ensures unparalleled transparency and security, setting a new benchmark for trust in the carbon market.
As the voluntary carbon market grows, with corporations like The Walt Disney Company leading the way, AMR is poised to deliver scalable, high-impact solutions. Our projects align with global initiatives like the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the EU’s Methane Regulation, ensuring compliance and leadership in sustainability. Beyond emissions reductions, AMR’s work improves community health, enhances air and water quality, and supports local economies.
Partner with AMR to access high-quality carbon credits that not only offset your emissions but also invest in a sustainable future. Join us in transforming the carbon market and tackling climate change head-on.
Mission: to achieve significant climate impact
Methane is a climate crisis accelerator, with 25-84 times the warming power of CO2. AMR tackles this head-on by permanently plugging orphaned wells, delivering immediate and measurable reductions that help your corporation meet ambitious net-zero goals. Beyond reducing methane, AMR’s projects enhance community health, improve air and water quality, and create economic opportunities, delivering value that extends far beyond carbon offsets.

Regulatory and Global Alignment
AMR’s projects align with global climate goals, including the U.S. Inflation Reduction Act and the EU’s Methane Regulation, ensuring your offsets contribute to both regulatory compliance and sustainability leadership.
Partnerships and Stakeholder Engagement
Through partnerships with industry leaders, government agencies, and local communities, AMR delivers projects that drive environmental and economic benefits, making us a trusted partner for your sustainability journey
Where Climate Goals
Meet Ground Truth
Methane migration isn’t just a climate issue—it’s a water crisis.
60%
Groundwater supplies nearly 60% of the U.S. population’s drinking water — making any contamination from leaking gas wells a direct public health threat.
4.5%
In Colorado’s Denver-Julesburg Basin, methane contamination was found in 4.5% of sampled water wells near gas infrastructure, primarily due to casing leaks and poor well integrity.
20%
Studies estimate that 20% of abandoned oil and gas wells leak methane—posing long-term contamination risks to nearby aquifers and drinking water sources.
64 mg/L
Water containing methane at concentrations above 10 mg/L is considered dangerous due to explosion risks—and levels up to 64 mg/L have been recorded in homes near leaking wells.
Methane Abatement and Well Plugging
Well Inspection
Identifying leaks and vulnerabilities causing toxic methane emissions from oil and infrastructure.
Well Plugging
Permanently sealing abandoned or leaking wells to prevent methane release.
Post Plug Monitoring
Strictly monitoring for post plugging leaks with the best technologies available.
