Luke Plants, a third-generation owner of Plants and Goodwin, leads an oil and gas field service company operating in the Appalachian Basin. Under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, new programs have been established to inventory and properly close orphaned wells. The law allocates $4.7 billion for plugging, remediation, and restoration activities on federal, Tribal, state, and private lands. This investment aims to reduce methane and other greenhouse gas emissions, address water contamination, restore native habitats, create good-paying union jobs, and support disproportionately impacted communities. Demonstrating a commitment to environmental responsibility, Plants and Goodwin have partnered with Zefiro Methane Corp., a climate tech firm focused on reducing methane emissions from abandoned wells. Luke will also explore the growing role of carbon credit markets in incentivizing the plugging of orphaned and abandoned wells.
