Windfall Bio was onsite in London last month for #BESummit24 and had the honor of discussing innovations like our methane-mitigating #mems that address one of the root causes of climate change – greenhouse gas emissions. Thank you, to Breakthrough Energy , for bringing the most pioneering companies and projects under one roof, and backing our mission to mitigate emissions across methane-intensive industries. We look forward to driving continued progress across the methane mitigation sector and watching our fellow Breakthrough companies tackle ‘The Five Grand Challenges’ of climate change. 💡

Landfills are the third-largest source of methane emissions globally – yet experts say U.S. regulations fall egregiously short of achieving necessary reductions. But new best practices from states like California and Washington have pushed the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to search for new technologies and approaches that will close the gap.

Last month, our team attended the #MethaneMitigationSummit to discuss the future of emissions with over 350 oil and gas operators, regulators, and technology providers. Coming away from the event, it’s clear that methane-intensive operations are eager to collaborate with today's mitigation experts and solutions. Thank you to everyone who stopped by our booth to connect on the importance of mitigation technology. More to come! Methane Mitigation Summit Series
