New hope for reducing natural gas emissions.
At Sparrow Detect, we monitor and manage natural gas emissions to realize a secure energy future.
Our goal is to make the planet safer and healthier by creating technology that offers smart, affordable monitoring and management of natural gas emissions in human-made environments.
Problem for the Planet
Natural gas is the cleanest burning fossil fuel in the global energy mix. But when directly emitted into the atmosphere, methane, the main component in natural gas, poses a grave challenge, because it’s over 80 times more damaging than carbon dioxide over a 20-year timeframe.[1]
Deadly for People and Property
We rely on natural gas for heating and cooking. But when it leaks into homes and commercial buildings the damage gas can cause is staggering. Between 2007 and 2016, there were over 82,000 fires from gas leaks, resulting in 375 deaths and nearly 2,000 civilian injuries in the U.S. alone.[2]
