Emission models are just as important as the devices used to detect methane.

Here, we show how we have improved our emissions model to better account for turbulence, the rapid fluctuations in wind direction and speed that drive dispersion.

Qube now delivers equipment-level monitoring (Qube Lite) and imaging (Qube Camera) integrated directly with your process data (e.g., SCADA). By combining emission data with real-time process information, operators gain the context needed to distinguish between routine operations—like venting or blowdowns—and actual equipment failures.

Beyond oil and gas, continuous monitoring is an established technology for managing emissions at diverse sites like landfills, mines, and biogas facilities. Qube Technologies recently shared results from a validation program conducted in partnership with FluxLab, focusing on landfill methane detection at scale.

Here we show how improvements to our source modeling resulted in better detection of emissions at heights - like storage tanks. These results are verified by blind, third-party testing at METEC in 2025 where Qube’s continuous monitoring detected all releases from heights during the testing period.
