How to Make Millions Fixing Methane Leaks

Kal Penn heads to West Texas to meet the founder of a fossil fuel company who realized fixing methane leaks was a huge financial opportunity. Global oil and gas operations emit giant amounts of methane daily. Ryan Keys, co-founder of Triple Crown Resources, has discovered how to eliminate most of his leaks and save lots of money in the process.

Getting Warmer is Bloomberg's exclusive new show about climate, clean energy and business, anchored by actor and former White House aide Kal Penn.

Accompany him on his journey as he takes an up-close look at bold climate solutions and discovers new facets of the global transition to clean energy.

In a hosted studio segment, Penn sifts through the overwhelming news about our climate and breaks down the facts and trends to understand with a dose of humor and optimism. Why are the recycling symbols on your plastic cups misleading? How does the carbon credit market work and does it actually help? And what is the future of water in a drought-ridden world?

On the road, Penn meets the innovators, researchers, communities and businesses pivoting to new energy sources and spearheading low-carbon technologies. In documentary segments, Penn speaks to the self-declared “crypto cowboys” of Texas who claim Bitcoin mining can help stabilize the state’s troubled electrical grid, and travels to Nevada to visit the company attempting to build America’s first closed-loop supply chain for electric vehicles. In New York, Penn explores the urban designs proposed to save the city from the next Superstorm Sandy and goes inside New York’s Empire State building to investigate the challenges of decarbonizing our cities and landmarks.

The show builds on, and includes contributions from, Bloomberg Green’s award-winning team of climate journalists as well as London-based climate storytellers Jack Harries and Alice Aedy. With a focus on the most pressing questions for young viewers, Jack and Alice unpack one big idea each episode. From recycled wastewater to regenerative agriculture and the challenges of a just transition for workers in the energy sector, they’ll break down how countries across the world are finding intriguing solutions to our climate crisis, and outline the challenges ahead.

You can also watch on Bloomberg TV (BTV) at 10p ET.

Great series. Love it. Really enjoying Kal as host.

public push? there should be a law that forces them to close the leaks and there should be a public commission that goes around the various plants of the various companies that checks if there are leaks with suitable tools and gives you hefty fines if you don't close them within a month. This is a rule of law, not public push pfff

"Presented by GM." Bloomberg's next video: How to Stop Gun Violence (presented by Smith & Wesson).

No one's going to mention the leak hunting laser running on a generator lol

[wendyscher]

To me, the unspoken question is, what emissions does methane cause when burned, either in flares or in its intended end use?

"special infrared camera" plz tell us more. Would love to check methane biogas for leaks.

[zapfanzapfan]

So, methane leaks are 10 times the estimate... wonderful...

Take the profit out of fossil fuels.




Tax the profit out of fossil fuels.

That sounds a lot better.

Use Protego Pressure/Vacuum vents instead of Enardo, Groth, Pentair, or other poorly designed vents! Made many trips to oil/gas fields and these guys know how to bandage a quick solution until the EPA guy leaves. @kalpenn

Fixing the root of the problem costs slightly more money and companies don't want to pay for better technology because the EPA fines don't really get enforced.
