WEBINAR - Detection of Methane Fugitive Emissions Using Drones: Terra Sana Consultants’ Journey of Innovation

Learn how Terra Sana Consultants revolutionised methane emission detection with cutting-edge drone technology, enhancing data quality, safety, and efficiency in the mining, waste management, and oil & gas industries.

In this webinar, Dr. Grazia Gargiulo will share the innovative journey of Terra Sana Consultants in developing a drone-mounted sensor system for detecting methane fugitive emissions. The focus will be on the journey of innovation, including the "back to the whiteboard" moments that defined the project's success.

Methane detection in the mining, waste management, and oil & gas industries is crucial for greenhouse gas emissions quantification, safety, and environmental compliance. Traditional methods, such as walk-over surveys or vehicle-mounted sensors, face significant limitations, particularly in challenging terrains and hazardous conditions like landfills.

Terra Sana Consultants overcame these challenges by creating an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) system that not only detects surface fugitive emissions but also provides precise geo-referencing of methane hotspots. This technology enables more targeted risk assessments, improves emission flux calculations, and facilitates meaningful remediation actions.

Attendees will gain insights into the innovation process and the challenges encountered during the development of this UAV system. The session will also highlight the advantages of using drones over traditional methods, including complete coverage of hazardous areas, improved safety, and the elimination of human error.

This webinar is essential for environmental professionals, engineers, and anyone interested in the application of drone technology in the oil & gas industry. Join us to discover how this innovative approach can transform methane detection and environmental monitoring.
