Climate Transformed Ventures (CTV) is a methane infrastructure and origination platform company that leverages government funding and private capital to cap orphaned oil wells across the United States and Canada.


An orphaned oil well has no solvent owner of record, leaving the responsibility of capping in the hands of state and federal governments.


The EPA estimates that there are up to 3.7 million orphaned wells in North America, with the estimated cost to cap them ranging from $200bn- $300bn.


There is only $4.7bn allocated by the US Federal Government under the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA).


This is the first phase of a multi-decade solution that will require the extensive deployment of private capital

CO2 Permanence
Are we being distracted by the quest for perfect

We discuss whether cheaper solutions that do not offer permanent carbon storage should be fast-tracked to “kick the can down the road.” We are not considering storage solutions for 100 years, yet history tells us that innovation in 2123 will be far superior to today. Should we embrace a temporary solution as part of a sequestration strategy?
