Carrying On Our 2025 Momentum

vs. Other Aerial Providers Limitations: These providers use various technologies including passive infrared and satellite-based systems. Passive infrared systems struggle with detecting smaller leaks and precise localization and are more sensitive to environmental lighting conditions which can affect accuracy and add delays.

GML Advantages: Bridger Photonics' GML provides higher sensitivity and resolution, allowing for accurate detection and quantification of leaks in a single pass, reducing operational costs and delays. GML’s active LiDAR system is less affected by environmental lighting conditions, leading to faster results

vs. Satellite Sensors Limitations: Satellite sensors provide large-scale, continuous coverage, but they lack the spatial resolution needed to pinpoint the exact origin of a leak. Their sensitivity is limited, making it difficult to detect smaller leaks, and their performance can be significantly impacted by adverse weather conditions such as rain, snow, and cloud cover.

GML Advantages: In contrast, GML offers unmatched spatial resolution, accurately identifying leaks down to the equipment level. Its superior sensitivity ensures even the smallest methane leaks are detected, providing comprehensive emissions management. Additionally, GML operates effectively in various weather conditions, ensuring reliable data year-round.

vs. Fixed Sensors

Limitations: Fixed sensors offer constant monitoring but are limited to specific locations, requiring numerous sensors to achieve full coverage. This setup can be costly and labor-intensive to install and maintain. Furthermore, fixed sensors are prone to inaccuracies caused by wind effects, leading to potential false readings.

GML Advantages: GML overcomes these limitations by covering vast areas with a single aerial scan, eliminating the need for multiple fixed sensors. This approach significantly reduces infrastructure and maintenance costs. Moreover, GML provides precise and actionable data, free from the inaccuracies caused by environmental factors.

vs. Handheld OGI Sensors

Limitations: Handheld OGI sensors depend heavily on the operator's skill and their presence at the right time and place, which can limit their effectiveness. They are only capable of detecting leaks in the operator’s immediate vicinity, and require on-site personnel, increasing safety risks due to exposure to hazardous conditions.

GML Advantages: Bridger Photonics' GML technology operates autonomously, reducing the need for on-site personnel and minimizing safety risks. It identifies leaks across wide areas in a single flight, offering a much broader detection scope than handheld sensors. Furthermore, GML is highly reliable, with virtually no false positives, ensuring that operators can trust the data to prioritize repairs effectively.
