FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., Feb. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --  ZEFIRO METHANE CORP.

Mr. Plants also underscored Zefiro’s view that the “active sustainability” projects that the Company undertakes can help more communities remediate legacy environmental hazards in a manner that prioritizes the needs of modern society, and addressed how the Company’s unique, vertically integrated business model is driving the team’s scaling efforts and ability to form innovative partnerships with public and private sector stakeholders across the country.

“Since my first day as a member of the Zefiro team, I have seen how our innovative commercial approaches – rooted in best positioning our plugging specialists in the field – can regularly overcome traditional barriers to progress,” Mr. Plants stated during his remarks. “Active sustainability is a central part of an action plan that can ensure that future generations of Americans have access to good paying jobs and healthier communities.”

Mr. Plants’ remarks at the conference were the latest in a series of public speaking engagements that Zefiro’s senior leadership team has undertaken, including Zefiro Founder and Chief Executive Office Talal Debs’ appearance at the United Nations’ COP 28 Conference, to highlight the Company’s expanding field operations and discuss how the energy industry can help stem the nationwide proliferation of unplugged oil and gas wells. According to the latest expert estimates, there are millions of orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells throughout the U.S., with the potential for many of these sites to be unplugged.

“From our dedicated crew members on a growing list of job sites to our executive officers working diligently on expanding an industry-leading portfolio of certified carbon credits, I am proud that Zefiro’s unique focus on ‘active sustainability’ projects has helped establish this growing marketplace and garner tangible, paradigm-shifting success in the field,” said Talal Debs, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Zefiro Methane Corp. “Our team firmly believes that ‘active sustainability’ is not just a fancy buzzword – it is a critical component of our efforts to drive real returns on targeted, forward-thinking investments and make a lasting difference in countless affected communities.”
