Drone Emissions Measurement Service
UK Wide Drone Methane Gas Measuring Service
We offer specialised drone methane gas measuring service UK Wide. Designed to accurately detect and quantify methane emissions in various environments. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, significantly more impactful on climate change than carbon dioxide. Over a 100-year period, the global warming potential of methane is 28-34 times that of CO2. When measured over a shorter 20-year period, that ratio increases dramatically to 84-86 times.
Utilising our advanced technologies such as Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), our drones provide precise measurements of methane levels. This capability allows for real-time monitoring and rapid response to leaks, essential for both environmental protection and industrial efficiency.

Making Important Decisions with Confidence
Benefits of Using Drones
in Emissions Detection
Improved Safety Compared To Traditional Means
Drones can carry out gas detection operations in areas that are potentially hazardous to humans.
Our UAV’s can detect gas leaks in pipelines, storage tanks, or industrial sites from a safe distance, reducing the risk of exposure to harmful gases for workers.
This can significantly enhance the safety measures of industries that deal with harmful gases.
Increased Efficiency and Speed
Drones equipped with gas detection sensors can cover large areas in a relatively short amount of time compared to manual inspections.
Our drones can fly over and around structures, taking continuous measurements, which can help to detect leaks or hazardous gas concentrations quickly.
This speed and efficiency can lead to faster response times, limiting the environmental impact and potential damage of gas leaks.
Save Costs With Drone Emission Surveys
Drone technology for gas detection can offer significant cost savings. By detecting leaks early and efficiently, they can prevent expensive repairs and the loss of product.
Our drone gas surveys reduce the need for manual inspections – which can involve a lot of manpower and safety equipment – drones can save both time and money.
They also have the advantage of being reusable and adaptable to different detection tasks, making them a valuable long-term investment.
Air Quality Monitoring
Meeting Regulatory Guidelines for Gas Emissions
Chemical facilities present challenges for traditional gas leak detection due to their complex infrastructure, but our advanced UAV gas monitoring system offers a comprehensive solution.
Regulatory bodies impose strict guidelines on gas emissions, aiming to protect the environment and maintain air quality standards. Our drones equipped with specialised sensors can swiftly and accurately identify and track gas leaks or emissions throughout the facility. The real-time monitoring, quick detection, and accurate tracking of gas emissions provided by our technology help to maintain a safe and environmentally responsible operation, avoiding penalties and reputational damage associated with non-compliance.
Atmospheric Gas Monitoring
Comprehensive Methane Emission Analysis
The complex nature of gas terminals and processing plants necessitates a thorough understanding of the emissions released during their operations. Our unmanned aircraft can capture and analyse gas emissions in real-time, offering valuable insights into the type, quantity, and dispersion of gases being released.
The drones collect data on gas emissions and transmit it in real-time to a central monitoring system. This data is then analysed and interpreted, providing facility operators with valuable insights into the performance of their gas terminals and processing plants.
This information allows for proactive decision-making, enabling prompt actions to mitigate any potential risks, prevent gas leaks, and ensure compliance with safety regulations.
Real-time Gas Surveillance
Helping Achieve UK Climate Goals
The UK Climate Change Committee (CCC) plays a crucial role in advising the government on emissions targets and monitoring progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Helping Anaerobic Digestion Generation Plants
Anaerobic digestion generation plants are facilities where organic materials, often waste from farms or food production processes, are broken down by microorganisms in the absence of oxygen. This process results in the production of a biogas that is primarily composed of methane and carbon dioxide. This biogas can be used as a source of renewable energy.
Biogas is combustible, and methane is a potent greenhouse gas. It’s important to detect and control leaks to prevent accidents and minimize environmental impact. By using drone monitoring the types and quantities of gases produced, these plants can also gain valuable insights into the efficiency of their anaerobic digestion processes. For example, a lower-than-expected methane yield might indicate that there’s room for process optimization.
Air Quality Monitoring
Drone-Based Methane Detection: Utilising Parts Per Million
Parts per million” (ppm) is a commonly used unit of measure to indicate the concentration of a substance in another substance. In the context of gas emissions, like methane from an anaerobic digestion generation plant, 1 ppm signifies that for every million units of air, there is one unit of methane.
Our drone-based gas detection service utilises advanced sensors to measure this concentration accurately. Our drones, armed with infrared sensors, can fly over facilities across the UK, shining an infrared light through the air. Methane absorbs this infrared light at a specific wavelength, and by measuring the extent of this absorption, we can accurately quantify the methane concentration in the air.
The results are reported in ppm, providing a straightforward, universally recognised metric that helps plant managers to ensure safety, control emissions, and comply with environmental regulations. This innovative, UK-wide service allows for regular monitoring of methane emissions to ensure optimal plant operation and environmental compliance
