Why Methane Matters: Unlocking High-Integrity Carbon Finance for Methane Action

​At COP31, Climate Balanced brings together carbon market and policy specialists, crediting programmes, independent assessors, price reporting experts and project developers for a one-hour panel on a practical question: when does carbon finance make methane abatement possible, and how can that contribution be shown credibly?

​Landfill gas and other methane projects face declining gas yields, volatile energy revenues and repeated reinvestment needs. The panel connects these operational realities with Article 6, crediting standards, independent quality assessments and carbon credit price signals to find practical ways to finance high-integrity methane mitigation over the long term.
