The Fall 2024 Picarro Gas Conference, held in Amsterdam this year, brought together 56 leaders from 31 companies across Europe for three days of insightful discussions, hands-on workshops, and future-focused presentations. The event provided a platform for natural gas operators to explore the latest advancements in methane emissions management and compliance with the new EU Methane Regulation.

At Picarro, innovation is at the heart of everything we do, and today, we’re thrilled to introduce something we believe will truly transform the way natural gas operators work—the Picarro Handheld. This new device isn’t just another tool in the toolkit; it’s the next step in revolutionizing leak detection and management, and we couldn’t be more excited to share it with the world.Why This Handheld Matters

Thinking Outside the BoxThinking outside of the box is a critical mechanism for any innovative product; however, understanding the capabilities and foundation of why the box exists in the first place is crucial.

A year ago, Veritas and OGMP 2.0 embarked on a collaborative journey to harmonize their methodologies. A comprehensive analysis at that time revealed a fundamental contrast between the two approaches: Veritas prioritized instilling confidence in measurements to facilitate reporting at the system level, whereas OGMP's primary focus rested on specificity in characterizing and attributing every emission source, thereby emphasizing accountability for asset owners and driving actions for emissions reduction.

This article will serve as a guide to selecting a suitable vehicle for use in Picarro AMLD drive survey usage.

Welcome to an exploration of the future of pipeline safety and environmental standards.

Natural gas distribution system operators (DSO) around the world must detect and measure methane emissions to find and eliminate hazardous leaks, meet financial budgets and shareholder expectations, and address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) goals.

Methods of Estimating Network-Wide Gas Leak Flow Rates - Which is Best for Your Utility?

In our recent podcast on methane abatement, part of our expert series, which features the perspectives of industry leaders on the challenges and advancements in gas and energy sectors, Picarro’s Francois Rongere, Senior Director Solution Architect, Climate and Safety, and Sean MacMullin, Senior Director of Software and Data Analytics, discuss the relationship between methane detection, quantification, and abatement programs, aiming to ill

In our recent podcast, we tackled the critical issue of methane data collection, leak detection and emissions measurement - uncovering the current state of the industry and its potential future directions.

Gas operators are increasingly being challenged to reduce methane emissions, and to do so in a continuous, verifiable way. This challenge at its most extreme has some cities recently banning natural gas in new construction. Further, as the infrastructure ages, gas operators face challenges in managing budgets and unplanned work due to an accelerating rate of growth in the number of leaks emerging from leak-prone pipe. These pressures are driving the need to manage gas assets as cost-effectively as possible.
