AGRICULTURE
Dairy barns
WHAT WE TREAT
Enteric fermentation - the methane your herd produces continuously and exhales into the barn - and emissions from manure pits and slurry storage. Together these are typically the largest source of emissions on a dairy operation.
WHAT WE DO
We treat the barn air - either integrating with the existing barn ventilation or with a dedicated ventilation system. We destroy methane at the concentrations actually present in a working barn - hundreds to thousands of ppm - without changing your feed, your herd management, or how you operate the building.
WHAT YOU GET
Quantified, verifiable removal of your largest emission source, reportable for your milk buyer's supply-chain requirements. Where the removal qualifies for carbon credits, that value can be shared with you.
WASTE
Landfills, wastewater, and biogas
LANDFILLS
Collection efficiency at a typical landfill is far from complete. Gas escapes through the cap and the working face, and as a cell ages its gas weakens until it can no longer sustain a flare - at which point the collection system is switched off and the site emits, sometimes for decades.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT
Dissolved methane coming out of solution, off-gas from covered basins, and emissions from sludge handling. Concentrations are low, flows are large, and most plants have no treatment path for it at all - it's often not even measured.
BIOGAS
Tail gas from upgrading digestate storage emissions, and fugitive losses across the plant. Every tonne that escapes is both a climate impact and product you didn't sell. We treat what your upgrading system can't economically recover.
WHAT YOU GET
Treatment for the emissions your existing infrastructure was never designed to handle - including the ones you're increasingly required to measure and report.
ENERGY
Oil & Gas and coal mining
WHAT WE TREAT
Low-pressure vents, fugitive losses, and gas streams too low-quality or too small in volume to justify recovery. Marginal and ageing assets where the economics of capture stopped working long ago.
WHAT WE DO
We treat sources that fall below both the recovery threshold and the flare threshold. Our units are designed for site conditions, integrate with what's already installed, and give you a treatment route for emissions where the only alternatives are venting.
WHAT YOU GET
A compliance path for emissions with no current solution, and quantified removal you can report against tightening methane regulation.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked
Find out what's treatable at your site.
A site assessment tells you which of your emission sources we can address, what it would take, and what it would remove. It's the fastest way to find out whether this is relevant to you.
