A NEW APPROACH TO
LAND CONSERVATION

High-Integrity Carbon Credits Through Long-Term Resource Conservation

Keystone Carbon takes a fundamentally different approach to environmental assets. Through the Oil and Gas Minerals Remain In Place (OGM-RIP™) methodology, governed by the M6 Foundation, we secure legally binding agreements that prevent the extraction of proven, economically viable oil and gas reserves for over 100 years. By choosing preservation over development, we offer companies committed to sustainability the opportunity to invest in real, measurable emission reductions while supporting long-term land conservation. Partnering with Keystone Carbon means supporting true environmental stewardship while achieving your organization’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) objectives with absolute confidence.

FEATURED CONSERVATION PROJECT

Miller Mountain

The Miller Mountain Project is a landmark environmental initiative in Wyoming County, Pennsylvania, designed to permanently preserve the highly productive Marcellus Shale. By foregoing the development of 12 baseline natural gas wells across 2,506 net acres, this project guarantees that millions of tons of greenhouse gas emissions will never enter the atmosphere.

WHY PARTNER WITH KEYSTONE CARBON

Long-Term Protection

Our projects utilize the proprietary Oil and Gas Minerals Remain In Place (OGM-RIP™) methodology, ensuring highly productive oil and gas resources are locked away under restrictive covenants for over a century, preventing Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions from entering the atmosphere.

Verified Integrity

Every project is subject to rigorous independent validation and verification by third-party bodies that meet ISO 14065:2020 standards. These validators and verifiers independently confirm the accuracy of our quantified emission claims, ensuring that every metric ton of CO2e reported reflects a real, measurable outcome. We also secure comprehensive mineral title opinions, environmental feasibility reviews, and regulatory assessments to substantiate the baseline development scenario.

Ecological Protection

The benefits of our conservation agreements extend far beyond the prevention of CO2 emissions. By stopping oil and gas development before it begins, we protect surface lands from habitat fragmentation, environmental disturbance, and the consumption of millions of gallons of freshwater. The result is a preserved, thriving ecosystem, one that safeguards biodiversity and maintains the natural landscape for generations to come.
