Italgas has been using the Picarro solution to detect and quantify large leaks on the distribution grid. Localizing and repairing these few large leaks has allowed Italgas to drastically reduce their emissions compared to the baseline and put them well on track to reach the aggressive reduction target of 83% fewer methane emissions by 2025. Picarro clients using direct emission measurements have achieved the highest OGMP 2.0 reporting levels (Gold Standard).

The European Commission awarded Absolut Sensing a contract to purchase methane data as part of the Copernicus Contributing Missions Programme. Absolut Sensing anticipates that the programme will reduce industrial methane emissions in Europe and Europe-imported methane emissions by 178 million tons CO2e/year. Data from ground measurement campaigns have validated the sensor technology for quantification of facility scale emissions and it is anticipated that the program will contribute to a 20% decrease in industrial methane emissions by 2030.

In January 2023, Danone, one of the world's largest dairy companies announced an action plan to reduce absolute methane emissions from its fresh milk supply by 30% by 2030. The plan focuses on implementing regenerative agriculture practices through local stakeholders, partnering with other organizations to advance effectiveness and replicability, and engaging with local governments to encourage and improve policies regarding methane emissions.
