The Business Case for Methane Emission Controls

OSBC has been the business voice in Ohio for responsible standards to control methane emissions from the nation’s oils and gas production. We have made the case that implementing stricter standards will prevent the waste of natural gas (90% methane) energy, improve air quality for many communities and generate economic activity for 16 companies operating in Ohio in the methane mitigation industry, including four companies headquartered in Ohio.

Energy
Earlier this Spring OSBC met with staff of conservative Ohio legislators to urge their support for the Renewable Energy & Efficiency Standards. While conservative legislators generally do not support mandates, they are very interested in hearing about the business case for renewable energy and efficiency as well as market-based solutions. Unfortunately, several bills have been introduced that extend the “freeze” on Ohio’s renewable standards that is set to resume in 2017. Extending the freeze will further delay Ohio’s progress to more renewables and energy efficiency. OSBC invites business owners to voice their support for the renewable standards that will create jobs and bring our power portfolio forward. Take Action.
