The prime role of some companies in the energy and petroleum industries is to develop solutions to the incessant problem of hazardous emissions. One of these companies is Bridger Photonics, noted for its its blue-chip airborne light detection and ranging sensor (LiDAR), which passed the initial phase of its pilot study in 2022. When mounted on small aircraft, the technology creates a detailed 3D map of spots with dangerous methane gas leaks in oil and gas fields. The detailed map provides information on the quantity of emissions in million cubic feet (MMcf). This helps locate, prioritize, and remedy methane leaks.
Methane is a greenhouse gas that is over 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide in its global-warming effect. Besides climate change hazards, methane leaks pose serious dangers to public health. Over one million premature deaths occur annually due to methane pollution, according to the United Nations Environment Program.
