Tackling the Challenge of Super-Emitters
At the TotalEnergies Anomalies Detection Initiatives (TADI) site in Lacq, France, SENSIA’s RedLook™ technology was evaluated for long-range Optical Gas Imaging (OGI). The tests confirmed its ability to detect methane emissions from over 1 km away, marking a new step in precision monitoring for the Oil & Gas sector.
Studies from the IEA, UNEP and EDF show that a few super-emitters account for most methane released worldwide. Identifying and repairing these major leaks offers the fastest, most cost-effective way to reduce emissions.
Unlike satellite-based estimations, RedLook™ provides direct visual evidence. Operators see the gas plume itself in real time, supported by SENSIA’s proprietary detection algorithm. This combination delivers clear, actionable insights for faster decision-making and transparent communication with regulators.
Key benefits for operators:
- Detect super-emitters across wide areas from a single vantage point.
- Obtain verifiable proof through high-fidelity video.
- Prioritize repairs for maximum mitigation impact.
- Complement regional satellite screening with on-site confirmation.
The TADI facility has become a global benchmark for testing methane-detection solutions. RedLook™’s performance there underscores its maturity and value in driving the industry’s methane-reduction transition.
