Advanced monitoring & reporting
Mini sniffer sensors, smart flight software and emissions analysis
Innovation in emissions monitoring
Fugitive and diffuse emissions can be notoriously difficult to measure. The measurement environment is often highly dynamic and difficult to access. Explicit enables clients to monitor these free air emissions by offering advanced airborne measuring concepts as custom solutions.
Drone Flux Measurement (DFM)
- CO2
- CH4
- N2O
Explicit has developed the Drone Flux Measurement (DFM) method, a solution to quantify GHG emissions from different critical sources using a sniffer drone integrated with high performance gas and wind sensors.
- Quantification of emissions
- Leakage detection
- 2D and 3D mapping
- 20% uncertainty
- Oil & Gas
- Agricultural production
- Landfills and wastewater
Emissions impact both climate and air quality significantly, yet many of the sources remain scarcely documented. Using the DFM method, we can monitor and document them correctly, making it possible to implement the right mitigating actions.


Flare Efficiency Measurement
Explicit has developed a drone-based solution for precise assessment of the flare destruction removal efficiency.
By documenting and monitoring the flare efficiency, it possible to implement changes to follow legislation.
- Quantification of emissions
- Determination of flare efficiency
- Oil & Gas
Maritime Solution
- SOx
- NOx
- CO2
Explicit is world-leading in solutions for monitoring vessel emissions at sea using both crewed and uncrewed aircraft to sample ship exhaust plumes.
- MARPOL Annex VI compliance monitoring of SOx and NOx
- Methane slip from LNG ships
- Black carbon and particle emissions
- Harbour entry and in-port areas
- Near-coast, rivers and canals
- Vessel-launched operations
- Broad aerial surveillance of shipping lanes


Integrated Emissions Lab services
To ensure high-quality results, Explicit connects operational teams in the field with our cloud-based Emissions Lab (E-Lab) to produce quality-controlled emissions reports in accordance with best practice standards. The Lab also provides support from emissions analyst experts. The E-Lab also comes with online resources providing clients with detailed documentation on individual emissions as well as statistical tools for broader analysis of datasets.
