Louisiana’s methane mitigation industry is critical to keeping the oil and gas industry competitive as markets demand cleaner sources of energy, according to a new radio ad campaign launched ahead of U.S. Sen. Bill Cassidy’s Energy Security Summit. The industry provides homegrown innovation in America’s methane mitigation industry offers solutions that can help operators improve efficiency and compete in a changing energy landscape.
When methane is wasted in oil and gas operations through leaks, venting, and flaring, it warms the planet, worsens air quality, and squanders a valuable energy resource. The Center for Methane Emissions Solutions’ member companies have developed a range of cost-effective technologies to reduce wasteful methane emissions. By adopting common sense rules to cut methane, we can harness this innovation for more jobs and opportunity in Louisiana.
Radio script:
If there’s one thing we can count on… it’s the American spirit. The ability to overcome every new challenge. Like how right now, venting, flaring and leaks at oil and gas well sites across Louisiana waste tens of millions of dollars-worth of natural gas each year, costing state taxpayers millions.
As markets demand cleaner sources of energy, Louisiana must act or its oil and gas industry could fall behind.
Thankfully, the rapidly growing methane mitigation industry can keep us competitive. It uses new, cost-effective technology to capture methane gas, giving Louisiana an edge by cutting emissions and bringing more energy to the market. That also means more tax revenue for education, housing, and first responders.
And methane mitigation will create good-paying jobs in Louisiana that can’t be sent overseas.
By adopting common sense rules to cut methane, we can harness American innovation for more jobs and opportunity in Louisiana.
