We work to educate members of the media on the reality of the methane and volatile organic compound emissions crisis in the oil and gas industry. This often includes taking journalists on tours of oil and gas infrastructure from the Gulf Coast to the Permian in the U.S. in addition to work in several other countries. The following videos, articles and podcasts feature our quotes and work.

Sharon took a Swiss TV crew out in the Permian and was featured in their look at US oil and gas production.
France has banned hydraulic fracturing in its territories but imports fracked gas from the US. French company TotalEnergies is a world leader in this trade.
