The pressure is on. With the EU Methane Regulation (2024/1787) now in effect, energy producers across Europe are under increased scrutiny to detect and repair methane leaks across their operations.
The first-ever European Union rules to curb methane emissions from the energy sector have become legislation. The new EU Methane Emissions Reduction 2019/942 Ruling means gas, oil and coal industries in Europe must measure, monitor, report and verify their methane emissions and take action to reduce them.
New Si2-Pro, Si2-LD, and Si2-PD models provide best-in-class performance, decision support, fleet management and enterprise data integration with new on-screen gas leak quantification, partial discharge assessment, and mechanical fault measurement.
