Problem
Natural gas distribution network operators face increasing regulatory pressure to quantify and report methane emissions at the source level, as required by EU Regulation 2024/1787. Traditional manual inspection methods are labor-intensive, infrequent, and fail to provide the continuous, verifiable data needed to meet compliance deadlines and reduce environmental impact.
Solution
Aliagrid offers an integrated IoT-based monitoring platform that continuously tracks methane emissions across gas distribution infrastructure. The system combines fixed sensor nodes installed in pressure reduction stations (cabins) and gas regulation facilities (GRFs) with a portable measurement instrument for on-demand checks. All devices transmit encrypted data to a secure cloud platform, where operators can access real-time readings, generate compliance reports, and verify emissions levels. The hardware is ATEX-certified for hazardous environments and operates autonomously, with solar-powered and battery-backed options ensuring uninterrupted monitoring.
Target Audience
Primary customers are natural gas distribution network operators and gas infrastructure management companies in the European Union that must comply with methane emissions reporting obligations under EU Regulation 2024/1787.
