DENVER — April 22, 2025 — Project Canary, an emissions measurement and reporting platform, and QLM, a pioneering provider of lidar-based methane sensing devices, today announced a strategic partnership to enhance methane monitoring capabilities for utility and local gas distribution companies.
This collaboration integrates QLM's innovative quantum lidar methane camera with Project Canary's advanced emissions analytics platform. The partnership creates a comprehensive solution delivering data visualization, accurate quantification, and actionable insights for companies seeking to mitigate their environmental impact.
QLM's lidar-based sensing devices, which allow companies to detect and pinpoint otherwise invisible methane emissions, will now seamlessly connect to Project Canary's analytical software. This integration allows customers to visually identify leaks, quantify emissions, and assimilate measurement data from multiple sources, including aerial, satellite, and other ground-based monitoring systems.
QLM has been impressed with Project Canary’s clear leadership and data-driven approach to methane management and mitigation. QLM cites Project Canary’s software platform for its cutting-edge features, robust scalability, and proven track record in the energy sector. The partnership marks Project Canary's tenth technology integration, giving customers further flexibility to choose the best emissions monitoring solution for their needs.
"Our lidar-based technology makes the invisible visible, but turning those visualizations into comprehensive emissions management requires powerful analytics," said Murray Reed, CEO at QLM. "By partnering with Project Canary, we're enabling utility companies to not just see emissions but to act on them effectively and meet increasing regulatory requirements."
"This partnership with QLM demonstrates our commitment to integrating best-in-class measurement technologies into our platform," said Will Foiles, Co-founder and CEO of Project Canary. "The ability to visualize methane emissions adds a powerful dimension to emissions management, giving our utility customers the tools they need to address leaks quickly and efficiently while satisfying both voluntary commitments and regulatory requirements. "The integrated solution is available immediately throughout North America for utility and local gas distribution companies seeking to enhance their return on investment in environmental performance monitoring capabilities.”
