Measurement to mitigation in the next evolution of emissions monitoring

Twenty years of physics-based emissions monitoring has evolved into real-time emissions intelligence to meet the call from the United Nations for near-zero methane across the oil and gas value chain.

At London Climate Action Week 2026, UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued an unambiguous challenge to the energy industry:

"I call on producer and consumer governments alike to set a new global standard for the oil and gas sector: near-zero methane emissions across the value chain."

Weel & Sandvig has answered that call, as they announced a major extension of their Predictive Emissions Monitoring System (PEMS) platform that transforms emissions measurement into emissions mitigation.

The science is unequivocal. Methane is responsible for roughly one-third of global warming and unlike CO₂, its impacts are reversible. Cutting methane is the single fastest way to act on climate change, with results that could be felt within a lifetime.

That change, however, depends on information. Reliable data is needed to track corporate performance, and real-time insights that enables intervention before emissions escalate.

The scale and complexity of the problem demand a new way of thinking. Hardware-based monitoring simply cannot scale in time: there are not enough people, physical space, or resources to deploy conventional solutions at the pace the climate requires.

That is why some of the world's largest energy producers are shifting to digital technologies with Weel & Sandvig making it possible.

For more than 20 years, Weel & Sandvig's first-principles, physics-based PEMS technology has delivered real-time tracking of priority pollutants. Today, that platform goes further.

The extended digital platform delivers automated, auditable results. The platform takes emissions reporting beyond the annual sustainability report and putting it directly into the hands of both leadership and front-line personnel, where decisions are made and action happens.

By combining live plant data with digital twins and advanced AI, Weel & Sandvig turns emissions reporting into emissions intelligence: insights that explain what is happening, why it is happening, and what can be done about it.
