The advantage

of realtime gas emission detection and measurement versus benchmark engineering estimates lies in their potential to disrupt company valuations across many sectors of the economy from energy to utilities and waste management. This is significant because many large of emissions around the world are unreported, methane is a potent greenhouse gas. The potential for reducing man-made emissions is therefore material and companies, investors, and regulators all have roles to play.

Benefits

Valuation
Companies proactive in the measurement, disclosure, and mitigation of GHG emissions are more likely to benefit from a deeper investor base, lower cost of capital, higher revenue, and increased share price

License to Operate
Companies with lower industry methane intensity curves are more likely to attract and retain talent and are better placed to engage with local communities and regulators

Credibility
Self-certification is likely to be met with a certain amount of skepticism. Instead, emitters can benefit from the credibility associated with an independent 3rd party

Technology

The Kayrros Methane Watch uses data acquired by the Sentinel-5P satellite, which is part of the Copernicus network of satellites operated by the European Space Agency. Abnormal concentrations of methane are automatically detected by Kayrros proprietary algorithms, which apply meteorological models to determine source flow rate and location taking wind direction and other local factors into account. Methane hotspots are attributed to specific assets such as oil wells or gas compression stations. This is based on local information including flaring and venting data as well as the use of high-resolution images.

Sources: Kayrros analysis, contained modified Copernicus data
