Methane, a potent greenhouse gas, is a major concern, especially in the oil and gas industry, due to emissions across the extraction and transportation stages. GHGWATCH provides advanced monitoring solutions for methane emissions. By utilising this technology, companies can mitigate environmental impact, improve operational efficiency, and promote sustainability.
METHANE MITIGATION
In response to increasing methane emissions, the Global Methane Pledge was introduced during COP26 in November 2021 to spur action towards reducing methane emissions. The International Energy Agency (IEA) and government commitments have been inspiring efforts to advance technologies for monitoring and mitigating methane, leading to a renewed surge for innovations in methane detection and reduction.
GHGWATCH PLATFORM
GHGWATCH utilises cutting-edge methane detection technology, employing satellite technology and machine learning algorithms for precise detection, measurement, and monitoring of methane emissions. Through a distinctive method that integrates machine learning and spectral retrieval, this can identify methane leaks as small as 25 kg/hr. GHGWATCH offers valuable insights into methane concentrations, sources, and trends, facilitating the development of effective mitigation strategies and environmental stewardship.
