Our Projects & Environmental Impacts
The Rebellion Energy Solution
Our projects focus on plugging orphan oil and gas wells and regenerating the surrounding land bases – abating methane emissions, restoring spoiled ecosystems and generating high-quality carbon credits as a result.
Learn about our first three projects and the environmental and community impacts of each.
Project Environmental and Community Impacts
The reduction of fugitive methane emissions from the successful completion of our projects support the health, safety, and well-being of people, animals, and ecological systems. Quantified using analysis applied in conjunction with data sources shared below, these projects directly contribute to furthering five (5) of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals.
- SDG 3 – Good Health and Well-Being
- The wells sealed through the Heartland project were in close proximity to family homes and ranches. Plugging these wells and cleaning up these sites immediately reduced the hazards to air, water and soil near family residences, directly improving air quality, and mitigating future risk of injury.
- SDG 9 – Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
- Plugging these wells helps to mitigate contamination risks, contributing to the development of sustainable infrastructure by safeguarding natural resources and protecting nearby communities from potential hazards, involves the application of innovative technologies and engineering practices and can create job opportunities and economic benefits in the form of well-plugging projects, workforce engagement, and reclamation activities.
- SDG 12 – Responsible Consumption and Production
- Project models cleanup and responsible completion of the infrastructure’s oil and gas life cycle and significantly reduces the release of gas to air, ensuring pollution prevention and that the available natural resources are utilized responsibly and sustainably.
- SDG 13 – Climate Action
- By plugging orphan wells that have been identified as high-emitters, methane will not be released into the atmosphere over time. The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a key step to reaching the goals of the Paris Agreement, namely keeping global temperature increase under 2 degrees Celsius above preindustrial levels.
- SDG 15 – Life on Land
- Plugging orphan wells contributes to reversing land degradation and reducing environmental risks. Removing the infrastructure and restoring land spoiled by decades of pollutants helps prevent environmental contamination, including soil and groundwater pollution, and aids in conserving and restoring the integrity of ecosystems and area biodiversity. Soil degradation and land contamination impact the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems and reducing methane emissions supports efforts to combat climate change and its impact on terrestrial ecosystems, including shifts in vegetation, habitat disruption, and changes in wildlife behavior.
