About the Methane Mitigation Council
The Methane Mitigation Council is a new charitable project that exists to speed up deployment of methane mitigation solutions — the fastest way to slow climate change.
We bring methane mitigation solution providers together (commercial and non-commercial) to make it easier for public, private and civil society organizations to understand what's available — and work through what’s blocking deployment.
We're working toward a world in which methane mitigation solutions are fully deployed, and we've bent the curve on rising global temperatures.
The Methane Mitigation Council is a charitable project of Social Good Fund, a US nonprofit corporation and registered 501(c)(3) organization, Tax ID (EIN) 46-1323531 - which provides nonprofit status as well as fiscal oversight. Donations are fully tax deductible.
