Oilfield Decommissioning
Location: United States
Intervention: Oil well capping
Verification: The Gold Standard
Retire Emissions at the Source: Carbon Credits from Oilfield Decommissioning
We offer high-impact carbon credits generated through the permanent decommissioning and capping of marginal oil and gas wells. These low-producing wells often leak methane—a greenhouse gas over 80 times more potent than CO₂ —posing a serious environmental risk even after production stops.
By sealing these wells, these projects eliminate future emissions at the source, turning a long-standing liability into a measurable climate benefit. Every credit we offer is independently verified and reflects real, additional, and permanent reductions in methane emissions.
Support the transition away from fossil infrastructure—retire wells, not just emissions.

Verified Impact
All projects are third-party verified by Verra, The Gold Standard or Climate Action Reserve (CAR), oversight that ensures all contributions are directed to the highest quality projects, that:
Due Diligence
Projects are rigorously and independently verified by trusted third-party layers
Additionality
Projects are additional to business-as-usual, meaning the projects would not otherwise be developed without your carbon offset contributions
Permanent
Projects provide emission reductions that are both measurable and permanent according to the highest internationally recognized standards and audits
Project Spotlight
The Climate Tech Fund invests directly in the projects featured below, and will continue to enhance and diversify the project portfolio to ensure we deliver measurable impact with every dollar invested, and with a focused strategy on maximizing your impact ROI.
Saint Nikola Wind
Location: Bulgaria
Intervention: Renewable Wind Power
Verification: Verra
The Saint Nikola Wind Farm is a 156 MW, grid-connected, renewable energy wind farm in Bulgaria. Bulgaria was admitted into the European Union in 2007. The Project consists of a new electrical substation and 52 wind turbines, each with a capacity of 3MW. By producing electricity from a renewable emission-free energy source, the Project contributes to the sustainable, socio-economic development of the region, and improves the use of local energy resources.
Manantiales Behr Wind
Location: Argentina
Intervention: Renewable Wind Power
Verification: Verra
The Manantiales Behr Wind Power Complex required an initial investment of 200 million dollars, an impressive installation that now reduces fossil fuel generated electricity in Argentina equivalent to 47,500 m3 of diesel or 80 million m3 of natural gas annually. The project provides an annual reduction of 241,600 tons of CO2 from being released into the atmosphere. Manantiales Behr, due to its privileged location, takes advantage of the winds from Patagonia, which have one of the highest factors in the world in terms of installed power capacity.
The Clean Tech Fund
Choose Clean Energy
The legacy fossil fuel industry is in transition as the world moves toward clean renewable energy. But it's high time we accelerate our efforts, as we must triple our renewable energy capacity every year to reach 2030 climate targets that put us on a path to 1.5°C. From wind and solar to geothermal and tidal energy, your investment in The Climate Tech Fund is a catalyst for building a cleaner, more sustainable energy grid. Join us!
