Why Bridger: Trusted Emissions Data

Flexible sensitivity options include detection down to 1 kg/hr at ≥90% probability of detection (PoD) for the production and transmission sectors, and down to 0.5 kg/hr with a ≥ 90% PoD for gas utilities. Along with pinpoint emission source localization to typically within 2 meters (~6 feet), GML provides the precision operators need for fast repairs, verified inventories, and credible reporting.

Every scan logs the detection sensitivity achieved and produces auditable, time-stamped swath coverage. That means operators have permanent records showing required standards were met. No gaps, no guesswork.

U.S. EPA approved

As of January 2025, GML is fully approved under the EPA Methane Rule (OOOOb/OOOOc) at every detection sensitivity level and scan frequency in the EPA scan matrix.

Third-party verified

Multiple blinded, expert-led assessments confirm GML’s detection sensitivity and quantification accuracy, with results published in peer-reviewed studies.

Audit-ready records

Each dataset Bridger delivers includes pinpoint emission sources, georeferenced plume imagery, quantified emission rates, up-to-date aerial photos, and time stamps for complete traceability in audits or investor reporting.

Trusted Across Compliance and Reporting Frameworks

Confidence also comes from compatibility with the frameworks shaping the industry.

EPA Methane Rule

GML meets or exceeds detection standards across all scan levels, offering flexibility in scan frequency while maintaining compliance.

PHMSA

For years, midstream operators have trusted GML to meet PHMSA compliance requirements, and Bridger is ready to help you seamlessly achieve compliance as new rules come into effect.

OGMP 2.0

Bridger supports operators with OGMP 2.0 Level 4 (source level) and Level 5 (site level with reconciliation), simplifying progress toward the Gold Standard.

Certified Gas

GML data supports natural gas certification and differentiation programs such as MiQ, Veritas, and EO100.

Canada

GML has been extensively used in the Alberta Energy Regulator’s Alt-FEMP program as an approved alternative detection technology.

Proven at Scale

With Bridger, precision doesn’t come at the expense of efficiency. Aerially deployed GML can scan hundreds of miles of pipeline in a day, or entire LNG terminals in a matter of days. Unlike some approaches, our lasers operate under a wide array of environmental conditions, so there’s no need to wait for perfect sun angles or calm winds.

This scalability is why operators from production basins to LNG export facilities choose Bridger. Major industry leaders like Chevron, Cheniere, and PG&E all trust Bridger to deliver emissions data and analytics accurate enough for compliance, detailed enough for operations, and credible enough for stakeholders.
