A Quantum Leap for Sensitive Gas Analysis
Apr 2, 2024 — Far above an oil pipeline, a drone bobs and weaves. The drone, dispatched by Denver, Colorado-based Project Canary, is collecting high-resolution imaging data of the site, while also scanning for any indications that the pipeline is leaking methane. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, and Project Canary cofounder and co-CEO Will Foiles saw a valuable opportunity to act against climate change by giving oil and gas facilities the ability to quickly detect and prevent its release into the...
