Reduce Emissions Costs and Optimize Compliance with MethaneTrack™
MethaneTrack™ is an automated emissions monitoring system to detect and identify the location and size of methane and methane-blend leaks.
Why Methane Monitoring
On a 100-year timescale, methane has 28 times greater global warming potential than carbon dioxide, and is 84 times more potent on a 20-year timescale. Methane is responsible for about 30% of the rise in global temperature since the industrial revolution.
Environmental Sustainability
Reducing methane is one of the most effective ways we can slow global warming.
Regulatory Compliance
Many regions are starting to require methane emissions monitoring and reporting and have announced fines for non-compliance.
Operational Efficiency
Identifying leaks and inefficiencies can lower operating costs.
Investor Relations
Reducing emissions enhances public perception and industry credibility and is attractive to ESG-focused investors.

The system is also available in an EmissionsTrack™ version for Hydrogen leak detection applications.
How it Works
The MethaneTrack™ system consists of a gateway, an anemometer, and multiple endpoints deployed at each site. Because there is no need for wiring, a typical site installation can be completed by a single technician in just a few hours.
MethaneTrack™ endpoints sample the surrounding air, measuring gas concentrations.
Encrypted data is transmitted to the cloud, where proprietary Leak Source Isolation™ algorithms analyze the data, along with the wind data from the anemometer, to quantify the leak size and pinpoint the leak location.
MethaneTrack’s™ dashboard analytics and reporting platform visualizes the data and automatically alerts the right people that an emission event has occurred.

- Midstream: Monitoring of pipelines, compressor stations, Isolation valves, and LNG, regassification and natural gas processing facilities.
- Downstream: Methane detection in refineries, chemical plants, and natural gas distribution facilities.
Waste Management
Monitoring of landfill gas emissions to manage and control methane emissions.
Landfill gas collection and utilization for energy generation.
Compliance monitoring in waste disposal sites to minimize environmental impact.
Agriculture
- Monitoring methane emissions from livestock and agricultural processes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- Biogas production and optimization in agricultural settings.
Environmental compliance in agriculture to manage methane emissions from various farming activities.
Hydrogen
- Monitoring and detection of hydrogen emissions in industrial processes, including hydrogen production, storage, and transportation.

The MethaneTrack™ Endpoint:
Precise, portable, and virtually maintenance-free
A complete “Fix-and-Forget” solution
- No field calibration
Immunity to saturation and poisoning and no field calibration eliminates the prohibitive cost of quarterly calibration trips & sensor replacements.
- Highly accurate detection powered by The MPS™
Detection range from 50 to 1M ppm with built-in environmental compensation for temperature, relative humidity, and pressure for near-zero false positives. - Very wide operating range & self-testing capability
-40°C to 75°C operating range with up to 100% relative humidity. Built-In Self-Test (BIST) capability continuously evaluates the system to ensure it is operating to specification. - 5-year battery life and 15-year sensor life
No wiring and long battery and sensor life reduces the need for frequent on-site visits and ensures uninterrupted monitoring.
- Certified as Intrinsically Safe
Class 1, Div. 1 and Zone 0 certified and global safety certifications such as FM, CSA, IECEx, ATEX, and IP65+.
Simple and efficient installation in minutes
- Mounted onto existing infrastructure.
- No need for wiring.
- A typical site installation can be completed by a single technician in just a few hours – enabling installation of several sites per day per installer.
WITH PROXIMITY COMES ACCURACY
Close-Proximity Continuous Monitoring™
MethaneTrack™ endpoints are certified Intrinsically Safe, which enables immediate detection to obtain the most precise measurements of emission location and emission rates, due to proximity to the emission source.
- Immediate detection before the wind dilutes and distorts the gas plume
- Ultra-low false positives
- Highly accurate emission localization
- Best in class quantification of the emission rate
DASHBOARD ANALYTICS & REPORTING
Emissions tracking & compliance made easy
Empowering teams to seamlessly work together
- Monitor all levels from enterprise to site and assets.
- Visualize the location and size of emissions.
- Real-time alerts automatically notify the right people.
- Enable users to focus on their area of responsibility.
