When it comes to mitigating climate change, much of the discussion centers on reducing CO2 emissions or trapping CO2. But methane, a greenhouse gas responsible for about a third of global warming to date, is a lot more efficient than carbon dioxide at trapping heat in the atmosphere in the short term. As atmospheric methane levels reach an all-time high, governments and other organizations are realizing the urgency to address this issue and are looking to take effective remedial action. Curbing methane emissions is widely considered to be one of the fastest ways to slow global warming. The biggest challenge up to this point, however, is that no technology could detect methane emissions clearly and at scale.

Activate Anywhere helps entrepreneurs in the United States turn their ideas into products and find the best way to grow their technology. Most of the experience is virtual, with entrepreneurs participating in Activate programming and education through virtual meetings, supplemented by an in-person component held quarterly. These entrepreneurs gather at a designated location every three months to share successes and challenges, network with fellow entrepreneurs and investors, and tour commercial facilities and companies. As the Activate Anywhere Community enters its third year, a new cohort of ten companies will join this summer.
