Webinar—Orphaned Well Carbon Credits: Scaling Super Pollutant Mitigation

Thursday · May 28, 2026
1:00-2:00 p.m. ET
Virtual Virtual

Carbon credits for plugging orphaned oil and gas wells are gaining momentum as a climate solution, offering an opportunity to deliver measurable methane emissions reductions while addressing long-standing social and environmental liabilities. As interest grows, so does the need for clear, credible insights into how orphaned well credits can scale with integrity.

This webinar will introduce RMI’s newest Technical Explainer, providing an accessible overview of how orphaned well carbon credits work and where the greatest opportunities for impact and growth lie. We will then transition to a moderated panel discussion with leaders from across the ecosystem to explore how the market is evolving, what signals are building confidence, and how stakeholders can help shape a high-quality, scalable crediting pathway. Attendees will gain a forward-looking perspective on this emerging credit type, hear diverse viewpoints from across the market, and leave equipped to engage in and influence its development.
