Emission reduction

Making emissions visible, measurable, and manageable

Shaping a low-emission future

 

Reducing emissions has become a central challenge across a wide range of industries and societal sectors. Whether in energy generation, industrial operations, or everyday environments, undetected leaks, inefficiencies, and outdated technologies can significantly impact the environment. As the urgency to address climate change grows, understanding where emissions originate and how they can be effectively reduced is becoming increasingly important.

 

Advanced sensing technologies, continuous monitoring, and real-time data analysis play a key role in this effort. They make previously hidden emission sources visible, enable faster responses to emerging issues, and support more efficient use of resources. In doing so, they lay the foundation for a cleaner, safer, and more sustainable future—

benefiting companies, communities, and society as a whole.

 

With our solutions, ranging from refrigerant and methane leak detection to precise monitoring of clean cooking fuels, we support this transformation by making emissions measurable, transparent, and manageable. This empowers a wide range of users to act more quickly and make informed decisions that effectively reduce their environmental footprint.

Refrigerant leak detection for safer, greener cooling

We develop sensor solutions that detect emissions of low-GWP refrigerants in HVACR systems. These substances—including the increasingly adopted flammable A2L and A3 refrigerants—can pose both safety risks and environmental impacts when released into the atmosphere. Our technology measures the thermal conductivity of gases, enabling fast and reliable detection even under challenging operating conditions. By identifying refrigerant releases at an early stage, we help prevent unnecessary emissions and support a safe, sustainable transition to climate-friendly alternatives. In doing so, our sensors make a direct contribution to reducing global greenhouse gas emissions.

Methane leakage monitoring with Nubo Sphere

From Sensirion Connected Solutions, Nubo Sphere provides a complete system for continuous methane emissions monitoring. As methane is a potent greenhouse gas, detecting and addressing leaks quickly is crucial for reducing environmental impact in the oil and gas sector. Nubo Sphere combines advanced sensor technology with real-time analytics to detect, localize, and quantify methane emissions accurately. Our compact, rugged sensor nodes continuously measure methane concentrations, environmental conditions, and, when available, wind data, transmitting all information to the cloud-based platform for actionable insights. With continuous monitoring, site operators receive fast alerts about emission events, allowing them to act immediately

Clean cooking with LPG flow measurement

We support the transition to cleaner cooking solutions through precise LPG flow measurement. In many developing regions, households still rely on solid fuels like wood or coal, which produce harmful smoke and greenhouse gases. By enabling safe, efficient, and affordable LPG-based cooking, our sensors help reduce these emissions while improving health and quality of life. Our technology ensures accurate fuel delivery, minimizes waste, and maximizes efficiency for both residential and commercial applications. By replacing polluting fuels with LPG and optimizing its use, we contribute to a measurable reduction in local air pollution and global greenhouse gas emissions.
