In 2023, Netze BW started operating the Picarro system for vehicle-based detection and measurement of methane emissions from the natural gas distribution network. This not only prepares Netze BW for the upcoming requirements of the new EU Methane Regulation, but also enables them to increase their own system safety and further reduce methane emissions. Netze BW is also underlining its responsibility as a distribution system operator regarding reducing climate-relevant emissions.

Operational efficiency, data quality, and consistency are crucial for implementing an Advanced Mobile Leak Detection (AMLD) program that achieves comprehensive coverage of gas distribution assets. To optimize these aspects, Picarro recommends data collection at night.

Centennial, Colorado (September 3, 2024) – Colorado Natural Gas (CNG) is proud to announce the addition of a new cutting-edge technology to its operations. This year, CNG has introduced a vehicle to its fleet that is equipped with advanced leak detection capabilities. The vehicle, which has been retrofitted by Picarro, is helping enhance the safety and reliability of CNG's system while also reducing the potential direct emissions from the pipeline network.
