Problem
Monitoring harmful gas emissions, such as methane and carbon dioxide, often requires expensive equipment and complex deployment, making it difficult for organizations to gain real-time insights into air quality and gas leaks. Existing solutions may lack the accuracy, longevity, and low power consumption needed for effective, continuous monitoring in various environments.
Solution
eLichens provides a suite of NDIR (non-dispersive infrared) gas sensors and air quality monitoring stations designed for precise, real-time detection of gases like methane, carbon dioxide, and refrigerants. Their product line includes compact gas sensors, ready-to-use natural gas detectors, and outdoor air quality stations, all leveraging patented ultra-low power technology. These solutions enable organizations and communities to monitor air quality, detect gas leaks, and improve safety through accurate, drift-free measurements and wireless connectivity. The company's products are designed for easy integration into existing systems, offering options for both connected and non-connected deployments, along with remote monitoring and data export capabilities.
Target Audience
eLichens serves organizations and communities in need of real-time air quality monitoring and gas leak detection, including those in industrial safety, gas distribution, smart buildings, smart cities, agriculture, and HVAC.
