Project Canary

📍Today marks the end of one road and the beginning of another, as the EPA’s OOOOb ruling comes into effect. After extensive collaboration and feedback from industry stakeholders, this ruling establishes new requirements for monitoring methane emissions (among many other topics).

For Project Canary, the key aspect of this ruling is the opportunity for operators to adopt alternative technologies, including continuous monitoring, to meet regulatory standards. Amidst the flurry of claims that may arise, we’re going to stick to the facts.

Here's what you need to know:
➞ No technologies are currently approved under EPA’s NSPS OOOOb.
➞ Project Canary will submit a comprehensive application once we're confident it meets EPA’s stringent standards.
➞ The EPA operates on a "first in, does not mean first out" basis.
➞ The EPA has 90 days to conduct a completeness determination, and 270 days to approve or deny the application – or the technology will be conditionally approved.

We stand firm on our commitment to always be transparent about our technical capabilities, and we look forward to releasing more details on our proactive and nuanced approach to the application process next week.

Here's to embracing the new era of methane measurement and detection.

🎥 Next Thursday, May 9th, Project Canary is hosting a webinar featuring Insight M (formerly Kairos Aerospace) and the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment, moderated by GTI Energy – diving deep into how imperfections in measurement approaches impact annual emissions accounting.
As operators begin the path to measurement-informed inventories for initiatives like OGMP 2.0 and new regulations, understanding the tradeoffs of different measurement approaches is paramount to driving more accurate emissions accounting.
In this webinar we’ll discuss these tradeoffs + more, including:
→ How measurement frequency and geographic coverage impact uncertainty
→ How uncertainties are incorporated into measurement-informed emissions accounting
→ How operators can use this information to craft measurement strategies for their assets

📆 As the spotlight intensifies on tackling methane emissions, we're thrilled to be a part of CH4 Connections in Fort Collins, where we'll discuss our quantification journey and what the future holds.

Our very own Kieran Lynn, will be presenting and taking questions on the developments of our quantification algorithm on Oct 4th – we look forward to seeing everyone up there!
