Breakthrough in methane management for managing risk, validating data and benchmarking

 
 

Use Cases and Benefits

Weekly satellite-powered site scans are like a medical MRI. Now we can proactively and cost-effectively rule out significant problems, no longer “flying blind” at sites without continuous monitoring.

  • Boost sales to buyers of low methane natural gas

  • Strengthen your company’s brand and reputation

  • Retain and attract investors

  • Prioritize well abandonment sites

  • Validate permanence claims for carbon credits


WHY MethaneScan AI SOLUTION WINS

 
 

VERSUS AERIAL FLYOVERS

  • More timely and order of magnitude less expensive

VERSUS FREE SATELLITES

  • Scans every site every week

  • Free satellite monitoring by third parties do not revisit any given site on a regular basis

COMPLEMENTS ONSITE MONITORS

  • Fills coverage gaps where highly sensitive sensors or cameras have yet to be deployed or site visits are impractical


HOW WE DO IT

European Space Agency Copernicus Sentinel-2

NASA Landsat 9

GEO’s deep learning model detects methane plumes from subweekly high-resolution Space Agency satellite flyovers, delivering breakthroughs in coverage, refresh interval, and cost.

WHY METHANE MANAGEMENT IS CRITICAL

Methane leakage from energy production and distribution is a solvable problem at relatively low cost, made easier by AI-powered satellite analytics which can now detect and quantify leaks at point sources.

Methane is responsible for around 30% of the rise in global temperatures since the industrial revolution.
