Affordable climate action for American farms
Enclosed flare technology can destroy 98%+ of methane on-site for under $500K -- protecting farmers, neighbors, and the climate without raising consumer costs or requiring billion-dollar infrastructure.
The opportunity
“Every American farm deserves clean air
solutions that don't break the bank.”
The path forward
Credit stacking -- LCFS + RINs + 45Z -- creates complex economics that ultimately pass costs to consumers. Cap-and-flare is straightforward and affordable. No volatile credit markets, no multi-year permitting, no pipeline infrastructure. Just methane destroyed on-site for a fraction of the cost. When the goal is protecting communities, simplicity wins.
Every American farm deserves methane destruction regardless of size. A 1,000-head dairy has real methane and real neighbors. So does every small swine operation and municipal wastewater plant across the country. Enclosed flares make protection possible for all of them -- not just the largest operations that can justify an $8-25M RNG build. Affordable technology means no farm gets left behind.
RNG systems capture 85-95% of methane, but 5-15% is lost through processing and transport. Enclosed flares destroy 98%+ on-site with zero transport risk and zero processing loss. When you factor in methane's 80x warming potential over 20 years, that difference is enormous. On-site destruction is simpler, more reliable, and better for the atmosphere. The math is clear.
Policy should reward outcomes -- methane destroyed -- not complexity. A farm that eliminates 98% of its methane on day one deserves recognition, whether it sells credits or not. Shifting incentives toward destruction over monetization means more farms protected, more methane eliminated, and lower costs for consumers. That is a policy framework that works for farmers and families alike.
