Our Mission

We turn legacy oil and gas pollution into climate positive solutions

Carbon X transforms leaking oil and gas wells into high-integrity carbon credits—permanently eliminating methane emissions and unlocking scalable climate finance.

With deep expertise in oil and gas and fully integrated field-to-credit operations, Carbon X develops high-veracity carbon offset projects that convert stranded methane liabilities into verifiable carbon assets.
Our team combines real-world operations, emissions science, and registry compliance to deliver credits that are measurable, auditable, and market-ready. From leak detection to well decommissioning and credit issuance, we offer a scalable solution that aligns environmental integrity with institutional-grade climate finance.

Unlocking the Stranded Methane Opportunity

Methane Leaks Are an Untapped Climate Risk
Over 2 million inactive oil and gas wells exist across the U.S., leaking more than 20 million metric tons of CO₂e methane annually (EPA). As one of the most potent short-lived climate pollutants, methane is 84x more impactful than CO₂ over 20 years (IPCC AR6). These unmonitored emissions present not just an environmental threat—but a market failure. Carbon X identifies, quantifies, and neutralizes this risk, converting unmanaged methane leaks into certified carbon credits that unlock both environmental and financial returns.
No Market Signal, No Action—Until Now
The clean energy transition is accelerating, driven by exponential AI workloads, electrification, and ESG accountability. Data centers and cloud infrastructure are fueling unprecedented demand for natural gas and water—but legacy oilfield emissions remain a blind spot. With no compliance mandates or financial incentives to address them, these aging assets persist. Carbon X closes that gap by aligning emissions reduction with monetizable carbon assets—delivering climate action at the speed and scale this new energy economy requires.
A National Infrastructure Opportunity
As of 2025, over 500,000 wells have sat inactive for five years or more. In 2020 alone, abandoned wells released ~24 million metric tons of CO₂e—equivalent to the emissions of 5.3 million cars. These stranded assets represent a climate liability, but also a scalable investment opportunity. Carbon X’s vertically integrated model transforms this fragmented infrastructure into a platform for permanent methane abatement and credit generation—bridging environmental cleanup with performance-based carbon finance.
Our Mission

Carbon markets are an effective financial mechanism to scale environmental remediation

Our mission is to turn the oil and gas industry’s legacy liabilities into climate solutions.

Carbon X identifies and targets high-risk, methane-leaking wells using historical production data, site conditions, and precision detection. These wells are permanently sealed to eliminate emissions, with avoided methane quantified using certified methodologies and verified equipment. The result: high-integrity, science-backed carbon credits that deliver measurable climate benefits.

Many of these wells are non-core assets—low-producing, aging infrastructure often acquired out of bankruptcy by small operators with limited capital. Waiting on policy or industry mandates risks years of continued leakage. Carbon X offers an actionable solution today: converting unmanaged methane risks into monetizable carbon assets that fund cleanup and unlock scalable environmental progress.

With AI data centers and electrification driving demand for natural gas, minimizing methane leakage is critical to aligning next-gen energy economies with climate goals.

How we are solving this

We identify and plug high-emission wells across the U.S. and turn those results into verified carbon credits that fund further cleanup.

1
Identify

Wells are selected through a proprietary screening process that evaluates gas production history, current status, site accessibility, and emissions potential. Internal economic models filter for wells that meet minimum credit volume thresholds, ensuring that each project maximizes environmental impact and financial viability. This targeted approach enables the efficient deployment of capital toward the most impactful projects—unlocking a scalable pipeline of legacy assets across the U.S.

2
Measure

Methane emissions are measured using EPA Method 21 standards for accuracy and compliance. Field technicians use certified TDLAS equipment to capture methane readings pre- and post-plugging, with GPS and timestamp verification. All data is internally reviewed and third-party validated to uphold the scientific integrity of the emissions data. This quantification process forms the foundation for credit issuance, ensuring transparency and high-integrity carbon accounting.

3
Plug

Plugging is executed by experienced crews using field-tested techniques that exceed state standards and follow strict scientific protocols. Wells are sealed with multi-barrier isolation strategies using mechanical and cement-based plugs built for long-term containment. Regulatory agencies oversee the process from planning through completion. Each plug is validated through tagging, testing, and third-party review to confirm lasting methane abatement.

4
Monetize

Verified emissions data is converted into carbon credits through leading global registries, following strict standards for methodology and verification. These credits represent real, measurable methane abatement and enable confidence in climate outcomes. Without this financing mechanism, leaking wells would continue emitting unchecked. Credit proceeds are reinvested into future plugging projects, creating a sustainable engine for climate remediation and a new frontier for performance-based carbon finance.

Benefits of our process
1
Methane Abatement at Scale

Carbon X permanently seals high-emitting oil and gas wells across the U.S., targeting the most impactful sites first. By combining advanced detection technology with industry-leading plugging standards, Carbon X delivers scalable methane abatement that generates immediate climate benefits while addressing one of the most overlooked sources of emissions.

2
Verified Carbon Credits

Every credit issued is backed by measurable, trackable, and permanent methane reduction. Using certified methodologies, precision instrumentation, and multiple layers of third-party verification, we ensure our credits meet the highest standards of integrity—providing buyers with confidence that their investment delivers real, verifiable impact.

3
Full Lifecycle Execution

From leak detection and baseline measurement to well plugging, carbon credit development, and market delivery, we manage the entire process under one roof. Our vertically integrated model eliminates reliance on outside contractors, reduces costs and inefficiencies, and ensures projects are executed with consistency, transparency, and quality at every stage.
