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.
How Qube’s Continuous Monitoring Caught a Regulator Malfunction and Saved $9,000
A malfunctioning back pressure regulator at a tank and separator went undetected until continuous monitoring flagged it. Here's how real-time data prevented a costly cascade of equipment failures and saved the operator $9,000 in a single emissions event.
Continuous Monitoring in Practice: Case Studies in Cost, Performance, & Emissions Reduction
See how operators are using Qube’s continuous emissions monitoring to investigate equipment issues, confirm repairs, and reduce unnecessary site visits. Real-world case studies demonstrate the measurable value of pairing emissions data with operational context — across cost reduction, site performance, and emissions management.
Qube Platform Release 2.61: Sharper Emission Classification and Expanded Source Coverage
Release 2.61 adds more volume classifications for events and adds anchor trenches as a source category.
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.
MiQ Certification with Continuous Monitoring
MiQ Certification is changing how natural gas is evaluated by linking methane performance to market value. This blog explains how the framework works, why continuous monitoring matters, and how operators can use measurement-backed data to strengthen certification, improve methane management, and access differentiated gas markets.
Achieving OGMP 2.0 Level 5 with Continuous Monitoring
Qube’s continuous monitoring supports operators in their journey toward the OGMP 2.0 Level 5 Gold Standard. Here is an overview of the framework, its significance, and how Qube facilitates a seamless transition to Level 5 reporting.
Qube Platform Release 2.59: Easier Emissions Filtering and Better Device Deployment Images
Release 2.59 helps users classify and review emission types faster and gives clearer visual context for devices deployed in the field.
Rethinking Turbulence Intensity: A Smarter Approach to Methane Dispersion Modeling
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 Lite: Faster Methane Source Detection at Tank Farms
When potential methane sources are located close together, how do you know which unit is actually emitting?
This case study shows how Qube Lite, our new intrinsically safe methane sensor, helps operators distinguish emission source from a single tank at a tank farm.
Demonstration: Qube’s Site Dashboard
Qube's site dashboard makes it simple to visualize emissions, spot trends and track repairs.
This walkthrough shows how the platform connects to site equipment and monitoring devices, including Qube Fenceline, Qube Lite and Qube Camera.
Qube Platform Release 2.58: Better Filtering, Simpler Event Creation
Release 2.58 helps you focus on the emissions that matter, streamlines day-to-day workflows, and keeps alarm follow-up clear.
Better Emission Workflows in 2026: Driving Operational Analysis with Qube’s New Products
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.
Does Continuous Monitoring Accurately Detect Landfill Methane? FluxLab Tests Qube
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.
Qube Announces Strategic Funding to Scale Next-Generation Emissions Monitoring Technology
CALGARY, AB – Qube Technologies (“Qube”), the global leader in continuous emissions monitoring, is pleased to announce the successful closing of a new funding round led by existing investors TC Energy with participation from NGIF Capital and other strategic investors. This capital infusion follows a landmark 2025 for the company and is earmarked to accelerate the deployment of Qube’s expanded product portfolio across several industries.
Qube Platform Release 2.57: Improvements to Emission Timelines, Event Log and Alarm Notifications
Release 2.57 delivers updates to the Emissions Timelines, Event Log page, and Alarm email notifications.
Emission Detection from Heights: Improvements to Qube’s Plume Modeling
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.
Qube’s Probabilistic Duration Model for Methane Emissions
What’s New?
Improved emission event bounding that accounts for source coverage
Source coverage is calculated based on whether devices are downwind of a particular source at a given time
We use short term probability to determine if correlation between source coverage and methane readings is coincidence or correlated
Given high enough probability, we can fill in short gaps and extend emissions
Qube Platform Release 2.56: Improvements to Site Timelines, Customized Events and Qube Lite
Release 2.56 brings user-created events and other improvements to the site timeline as well as better emissions visibility by Qube Lite.
Verifying Methane Reductions with Continuous Monitoring: Upgraded Pneumatic Controllers Drive 80% Reduction
Colorado’s Reg 7 requires operators to eliminate methane-emitting pneumatic controllers and prove that new systems cut emissions. This operator replaced gas-driven devices with compressed air pneumatics, then used Qube’s continuous monitoring to establish a pre-upgrade baseline and quantify performance after startup. The fenceline sensors showed an immediate, sustained methane reduction of more than 80 percent, even at sites that were already operating below baseline. For engineering and technical leaders, this project shows how continuous monitoring can validate CAPEX decisions, de-risk compliance, and create a defensible data record for regulators and internal stakeholders.
