Lead the way in emissions reduction, Sensirion Connected Solutions is here to support you in:

Reducing costs and total emissions: Repair the sources of emissions faster. Nubo Sphere provides real-time emissions data and actionable insights to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and increase profitability. More insights, less emissions!

Complying with new regulations and voluntary standards: The global regulatory environment is changing. Continuously and accurately detecting, localizing, and quantifying methane emissions allows operators to efficiently achieve compliance, meet ESG goals, reach OGMP Level 5 and detect large emission events first - all while staying competitive. Get ahead, stay ahead!

Detecting and qualifying super emitters: Stay ahead of third-party monitoring. Under the EPA Super Emitter Program, certified third-parties will report emission events >100 kg/h to the EPA for validation and publication. But there's no need to publicly report internally detected emissions. Deetec super emitters first!

Improving operations and personnel safety: Detect emissions and access insights remotely. Nubo Sphere provides quick detection of emissions and  real-time emissions data, allowing operators to optimize processes, minimize losses and enhance productivity. Take targeted action from afar!

Demonstrating your ESG commitment: Make your environmental stewardship public. Nubo Sphere provides empirical data from operations, making ESG reporting verifiable, credible and trustworthy. Take the guess work out of meeting emissions reduction goals!
