Qube Awarded $2.55 Million from Emissions Reduction Alberta to Scale Continuous Emissions Monitoring

ERA has awarded Qube Technologies $2.55 million to advance continuous emissions monitoring platform for methane and greenhouse gas detection. The award is part of a $15.1 million investment in seven technologies led by Calgary companies, announced by the Government of Alberta and ERA. Total value of Qube's project is $7.9 million.

The Business Benefits of Continuous Monitoring

Continuous emissions monitoring delivers more than detection. Across a multi-site upstream oil and gas deployment, the data shows a 93% reduction in monthly emission volume, a 75% reduction in inspection costs, and documented equipment repair savings.

How Continuous Monitoring Identified the Right Problem and Avoided the Wrong Fix

When Qube's continuous monitoring system detected elevated emissions around a BTEX system, the combustor was the obvious suspect. By analysing emission patterns across different control valve configurations, the team used the monitoring data to work through a structured diagnosis. The right repair was made, emissions returned below baseline, and the operator avoided unnecessary capex on equipment the data had already cleared.

Proven in the Field: Qube Technologies and NGIF ETC Advance Continuous Emissions Monitoring

Qube Technologies has worked with the NGIF Emissions Testing Centre to test and validate its continuous emissions monitoring hardware, data models, and platform at Tourmaline's West Wolf Lake Gas Plant in Alberta. NGIF has also supported Qube financially across multiple rounds. The latest work at the ETC focuses on Qube Lite and Qube Camera, which operate as standalone tools or integrate with Qube Fenceline to deliver equipment-level source detection, precise localization, and visual confirmation in a single platform.

Why Not Both? The Best Emissions Monitoring Systems Don’t Choose Between Fenceline and Source-Level Detection

Fenceline and source-level emissions sensors are often treated as competing approaches, but the strongest monitoring programs use both. Fenceline Qubes excel at site-level detection and quantification, while source-mounted sensors like Qube Lite pinpoint exactly which piece of equipment is leaking. Deployed together, the two technologies compensate for each other's blind spots, delivering cost-effective, comprehensive detection, localization, and quantification.

Qube’s Emissions Detection, Localization and Quantification Results from METEC ADED 2025

Independent testing at Colorado State University’s METEC Advancing Development of Emissions Detection (ADED) program shows that Qube’s continuous monitoring system reliably detects the leaks that drive most methane emissions at oil and gas sites. Compared with our 2024 campaign, Qube delivered stronger performance under more demanding test conditions.

In this article we walk through the results in four areas: localization, emission rate prediction, detection capability, and quantification. We also link to the final METEC report so you can review the full third-party results.

Understanding Probability of Detection and Time-to-Detection: The Continuous Monitoring Advantage

For continuous monitoring, Probability of Detection (PoD) can be framed as a function of time. Detection confidence grows with each measurement window. Here we explain how controlled-release testing and time segmentation translate PoD into Time-to-Detection (TtD) and contrast that with single-pass survey methods. For operators, this provides a practical way to set expectations for how quickly a continuous system will find different-sized events and why that matters for response.
