Year-Round Methane Detection with GML for SNOW
Trusted Methane Detection for All Seasons
Four Season Emissions Monitoring
Snow no longer means blind spots. Bridger Photonics’ GML for Snow brings proven aerial methane detection to cold-weather conditions, enabling full-season emissions monitoring, inventory accuracy, and OGMP-aligned compliance.
After hardware upgrades and field testing across 1,000+ facilities in winter, GML for Snow is ready for full deployment in winter 2025/2026. Operators can now maintain reliable leak detection and quantification through every season, with no drop in data quality and no need to send crews into dangerous conditions.
Why GML for Snow?
Consistent Monitoring in Harsh Conditions
Unlike solar-based technologies, GML for Snow delivers reliable performance in winter. Maintain year-round emissions monitoring to keep reporting, mitigation, and compliance efforts on track.
Actionable Insights, Not Just Detections
We provide your teams with high-fidelity localization, even in snow, so you can quickly identify exact leak sources, prioritize repairs, and take action with confidence.
Reduced Risk, Increased Efficiency
Avoid sending crews out on icy roads to sites that don’t need attention. GML for Snow gives you accurate data to focus field efforts where they matter, reducing risk while increasing operational efficiency.
GML for Snow provides high-fidelity methane detection to the full calendar year—ensuring operators stay on top of emissions, no matter the weather.
Detection Sensitivity Capabilities
Historically, snowy weather made it difficult to accurately monitor emissions, causing gaps in year-round inventory accuracy. GML for Snow fills that gap with the same reliability you know and trust from Bridger Photonics.
GML for Snow pinpoints individual emissions sources with unmatched accuracy.
-
Fresh Snow (Cold Conditions): ~1–2 kg/h @ 90% PoD
-
