Methane destruction generates high-quality carbon offsets. A verified METF CH4 project can earn Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) or Verified Carbon Units (VCUs).
Example: A landfill installing a new flare system reduces CH4 by 50,000 MTCO₂e annually. At $15/credit, that’s $750,000 in revenue — creating a financial incentive to go beyond compliance. metf ch4

Water scrubbers require massive amounts of fresh water, cooling towers, and pumps. PSAs require complex valve sequencing (often 4–8 valves switching every 60 seconds) which is a maintenance nightmare. METF CH4 modules have no moving parts inside the separator. Operation is a steady-state flow.
