This week on the Investing, Money and Markets podcast we had our first opportunity to catch up with a member of the management team at Zefiro Methane, in my view one of the more exciting climate-focused stocks to hit the Canadian market.
Joining us on the podcast is Mohit Gupta, who joined Zefiro as its Chief Financial Officer in July. Mohit talks us through Zefiro’s incredibly important mission to cap oil and gas wells which are spouting extremely important methane gas into the atmosphere. Zefiro owns companies which are working across five US states to identify and cap the wells which are harming the evironment.
Mohit is also a veteran of the energy trading markets and at JP Morgan was one of the pioneers in the development of North American carbon credit markets, so it was a great opportunity to also speak to him about next generation carbon credits and how Zefiro is tapping into this area. Well worth a listen if you are interested in green stocks, and indeed in saving the planet.
