About the Methane Mitigation Council The Methane Mitigation Council is a new charitable project that exists to speed up deployment of methane mitigation solutions β€” the fastest way to slow climate change. We bring methane mitigation solution providers together (commercial and non-commercial) to make it easier for public, private and civil society organizations to understand what's available β€” and work through what’s blocking deployment. We're working toward a world in which methane mitigation solutions are fully deployed, and we've bent the curve on rising global temperatures.
