Today, Cboe Canada Inc. (“Cboe Canada”) is excited to announce the listing of Zefiro Methane Corp. (“Zefiro Methane”) following the closing of its initial public offering. Zefiro Methane is a climate technology company committed to decommissioning orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells in the United States and is now listed and trading on Cboe Canada under the ticker symbol ZEFI.

“Millions of North Americans live and work close to an unremediated oil or gas well, often unaware of the risk to health and environment posed by leaking methane gas. As a pure and fully integrated player in sustainable finance and environmental services, Zefiro Methane uniquely combines an institutional-grade environmental markets channel with the in-house capability to eliminate these methane leaks. We are scaling to tackle this large and complex issue by applying cutting-edge data and technologies, by tapping environmental and private sector capital, and by leveraging unprecedented financial support from the government. At Zefiro Methane, we are focused on bringing all available means to solve this problem affecting our communities, as well as our air, land, and water,” said Talal Debs, Ph.D. Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Zefiro Methane.

Zefiro Methane measures, monitors, and decommissions orphaned and abandoned oil and gas wells across the United States, many of which leak methane, a greenhouse gas 25-84 times more potent than CO₂. By decommissioning these wells, Zefiro Methane generates high-quality carbon offsets that it offers for sale in voluntary carbon markets.

“As governments across the world take steps to monitor and manage commitments to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Zefiro Methane is positioning themselves with an expert management team, access to capital, and creating an interesting opportunity for investors,” noted Erik Sloane, Global Head of Corporate Listings at Cboe Global Markets. “We are very proud to welcome another quality company and industry leader in the Innovation Economy to Cboe Canada, providing Zefiro Methane with superior service, enhanced quality of trading, and expanded investor reach as they begin their next chapter as a publicly traded company.”

Investors can trade shares of ZEFI through their usual investment channels, including discount brokerage platforms and full-service dealers.
