Our take
Many countries across the world are making huge efforts to reduce carbon emissions with clean and renewable energy, but natural gas will continue to be used in energy grids for many decades to come. The challenge is to find smarter, cleaner and more efficient ways of handling usage of natural gas to reduce its environmental impact.
Project Canary produces gas emission monitoring technology created in order to provide accurate and granular ESG data to suppliers. This will ensure that natural gas remains a viable long-term option even as zero carbon targets are enforced. So far Project Canary has had remarkable success, with over 1700 of its devices deployed with 60 customers, carrying out more than 750 million measurements a month.
Whilst many startups aim to deliver tectonic shifts in environmental tech in a bid to reduce carbon emissions, Project Canary has taken a more grounded approach by optimizing energy infrastructure that is already in use. By providing industries and governments with the required tools to measure gas usage within a localized area, continued safe and transparent consumption of gases will be able to continue as the world transitions to greener energy production.
