The Drop 2025 - Ripple summaries
Pulling Methane from Thin Air - Innovations in Methane Mitigation and Removal
The Ripple focused on the ups and downs of tackling methane and what it means for our climate.
Kicking off with a group activity, everyone shared their views on methane solutions, from farming changes to capturing methane in the air.
Key takeaways:
• There’s strong agreement that methane reduction can help our climate fast, but it’s not a magic bullet—long-term work does matter.
• Getting farmers on board with methane blockers will take time and real incentives.
• Policy and rules are needed, yet good enforcement is just as important.
• Carbon markets could help pay for methane work, but there’s confusion about who should buy and how to measure progress.
• Measuring emissions, especially from pasture animals, stays tricky.
The Ripple wrapped up with the sense that tech, policy, and practical rewards must all pull together, and that clarity in markets and rules is vital for real climate results.
