S2E40: Much talk of CO2, but what about methane?!w/ Olya Irzak of Frost Methane

Published: Nov. 24, 2020, 9 a.m.

Carbon dioxide is not the only greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change. In fact, methane emissions are responsible for 16% of the warming we experience today. And because methane is more potent than CO2, we can make a big impact in a short period of time by addressing the concentrated, continuous methane seeps that exist around the world.

\\n

Olya Irzak is the Founder and CEO of Frost Methane, a company working to combat climate change through the deployment of remote methane destruction devices. On this episode of the podcast, Olya joins Ross and Christophe to discuss why she chose to focus on methane emissions and explain how her team\\u2019s technology works to convert concentrated methane into CO2.

\\n

Olya describes Frost Methane\\u2019s initial work with Arctic permafrost and introduces their new application of the technology in coal mines, sharing how the business generates revenue through carbon markets like California\\u2019s cap-and-trade market. Listen in for Olya\\u2019s insight on the benefits of voluntary markets and learn her approach to prioritizing climate interventions to make the biggest impact.
