Why We Invested in Bluemethane: Capturing Methane from Water to Decarbonize Infrastructure https://katapult.vc/ocean/why-we-invested-in-bluemethane-capturing-methane-from-water-to-decarbonize-infrastructure/ Wed, 28 Jan 2026 08:44:55 +0000 https://katapult.vc/?p=5101 Methane is over 80 times more powerful than CO₂ — and much of it escapes not from land or pipelines, but from water. Wastewater plants, reservoirs, and industrial systems leak methane every day, unseen and unmanaged. Bluemethane has built the first commercial technology to capture this lost gas directly from water, turning a hidden climate problem into a clean energy opportunity.
