The Basin Scale Continuous Abatement Network (Basin-SCAN) enables real-time monitoring, sizing and mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions from oil and gas production. Basin-SCAN technology is engineered to reduce emissions by 60-80% within the system coverage area.
“LongPath provides the industry gold standard of methane emissions monitoring, providing total site coverage, including flares, and reducing the time to find and fix leaks from months to real-time. We’re the only peer-reviewed published continuous monitoring system, and the sustained long-term emissions reductions for our customers speak to that quality,” says LongPath Technologies Co-Founder and Vice President of Product and Markets Caroline Alden, PhD. “A number of oil and gas operators have embraced our cost-effective technology as key to meeting their ESG objectives, and the DOE has identified Basin-SCAN as a step-change advancement in the nation’s emission reduction toolbox.”
LongPath Technologies received the DOE award on Feb. 12, 2021, under the agency’s highly competitive Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy’s (ARPA-E) Seeding Critical Advances for Leading Energy technologies with Untapped Potential (SCALEUP) program. The then-newly instituted ARPA-E SCALEUP program recognized the emerging Basin-SCAN technology as ostensibly generating the largest continuous emissions monitoring network within the domestic oil and gas industry.
About LongPath Technologies
Founded in 2017, LongPath Technologies leverages Nobel Prize-winning technology developed at the University of Colorado and NIST to engineer actionable laser systems that probe unique “fingerprints” of methane, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide and other molecules across > 50,000 wavelengths (colors) of light. After a decade of research and development, the company’s foundational Frequency Comb Laser technology combines low system cost and field robustness with continuous long-distance emissions detection. LongPath is based in Boulder, CO.
