FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla., March 13, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ZEFIRO METHANE CORP. (the “Company”, “Zefiro”, or “ZEFI”) board of directors member Catherine Flax served as a featured speaker at this week’s Wall Street Green Summit in New York City. The event, which was held at The Cornell Club in midtown Manhattan, was organized to highlight unique opportunities throughout the energy sector that promote a more sustainable future. Zefiro also hosted a cocktail reception at the historic venue following the conclusion of the day’s official programming for key stakeholders and conference attendees.
During her remarks, Ms. Flax outlined the public health threat posed by the nationwide proliferation of orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells. According to the latest expert estimates, there are millions of these sites throughout the U.S., with the potential for many to be unplugged. Ms. Flax also underscored Zefiro’s industry-leading efforts to forge a diverse portfolio of carbon credits that are directly linked to the ongoing plugging projects the Company is conducting across the country.

Ms. Flax’s speech was 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 combat this legacy issue.
“Since Zefiro’s inception, our team has worked tirelessly to build an expansive portfolio of projects and help establish a marketplace that is on the leading edge of innovation,” said Talal Debs, Founder & Chief Executive Officer, Zefiro Methane Corp. “Addressing this national issue requires big, bold solutions, and our efforts to forge the industry’s first comprehensive service provider will help more long-affected communities remediate these potentially dangerous sites.”
