Innovation and Benefits for the Energy Industry: Detection, Location and Quantification of Greenhouse Gases
In the competitive world of energy and sustainability, the ability to detect, locate and quantify methane gas emissions has become crucial, not only for improving operational efficiency, but also contributing significantly to the reduction of the carbon footprint. carbon of companies.
Backed by advanced technology of methane quantifiers coupled to drones, at Uali we manage to accurately detect gas emissions. We work directly with the energy production industry, but we understand that this technology can provide benefits to various sectors:
- The energy sector is one of the largest emitters of methane. UALI's ability to detect and quantify emissions allows companies in the sector to accelerate their energy transition, reduce operational risks and comply with stricter environmental regulations.
- Agriculture, particularly livestock, is another significant source of methane. Accurate monitoring of emissions would allow for the implementation of more effective mitigation strategies, improving the sustainability of the sector.
- Landfills and wastewater treatment plants emit considerable amounts of methane. The application of said technology would involve the operators of these facilities to monitor and manage these emissions, reducing their environmental impact.
Transformative Benefits of the Methane Quantification Service
The precision and speed of Uali's service reduces inspection and analysis times by 90% compared to traditional methods. This not only optimizes operating costs, but also allows for more agile and efficient decision making.
“By using drones for emissions detection and quantification, the risks associated with manual inspection are minimized, protecting worker safety and increasing the accuracy of the data collected.” - Pablo Legarreta, Drone Pilot in Uali
Accurate quantification of methane, a gas that is almost 80 times more harmful than CO2 in terms of global warming, allows companies to implement more effective reduction strategies, contributing to the fight against climate change.
The Global Methane Assessment 2021 report from the United Nations Environment Program (UNEP) highlighted that reducing methane emissions by 45% by 2030 could avoid a 0.3°C increase in global temperature by 2045. Furthermore , studies indicate that** the oil and gas industry could reduce its methane emissions by 75% using current technologies, **of which 40% could be achieved at net zero cost.
With these capabilities, we position ourselves in an emerging theme by working with large players such as Repsol, Total Energies, Shell and Pan American Energies. As demand for precise and effective environmental solutions continues to grow, UALI remains at the forefront, providing innovation and value to companies around the world.
At Uali we combine robotics, IoT and artificial intelligence, providing precise and actionable data to the energy industry to facilitate decision-making in the care of its most relevant assets and thus generating a positive environmental impact. Get to know us!
