Fast-growing Danish greentech company secures large-scale contract with Equinor to survey methane emissions using drones
Explicit ApS, Danish greentech scaleup and pioneer in the use of drone technology to monitor greenhouse gas emissions, has secured a multi-million EUR contract to survey methane emissions from all Norwegian assets on behalf of Equinor Energy ASA in 2025. The contract includes survey of 39 offshore platforms located on the Norwegian continental shelf and […]
DFM – Offshore platforms
Explicit quantified CH4 emissions from multiple TOTALEnergies offshore platforms using the Drone Flux Measurement (DFM) method. Thanks to its easy implementation, the DFM method can be used to quantify emissions also over sea. In this scenario, Explicit develops detailed maps which help the pilot to safely operate the drone offshore.
Flare Efficiency (FlareE)
The purpose of Project FlareE is to develop and demonstrate a new measurement methodology – based on in-situ sampling directly in the flare plume using drones equipped with gas analysers (also known as ‘sniffer drones’) – to measure and express flare Destruction Removal Efficiency (termed DRE) of methane in an operational environment.

FUMES
The Fugitive and Unburned Methane Emissions from Ships (FUMES) project, a collaboration between the International Council on Clean Transportation (ICCT), Explicit ApS, and the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), collected the most comprehensive dataset of real-world methane emissions from LNG-fueled ships to date, including methane slip from marine engines and fugitive methane emissions […]
DFM – Biogas plants
Explicit measured CH4 emissions from several biogas plants located in Denmark using the Drone Flux Measurement (DFM) method. By requiring only a single field operator, the DFM solution is easy to implement and does not interfere with site operations. Instant feedback is provided to the manager in the event of abnormal CH4 leaks. A detailed emission […]
DFM – Waste water treatment plants
The AWAIRE project, launched in December 2021 and co-sponsored by the Danish Government Ecoinnovation Programme (MUDP), seeks to combine a range of new technologies and methods not previously used for the detection and determination of N2O emissions from WWTPs, included our DFM method. In this case, the drone is equipped with a N2O state-of-the-art microsensor […]
New drone-based method for quantifying fugitive methane emissions at site level achieves international accreditation
Explicit ApS, one of Europe’s pioneers in the use of UAV technology to monitor emissions, has achieved ISO 17025 accreditation on a new drone-based method to quantify fugitive methane emissions at site level. The accreditation, the first of its kind in the world, provides the oil gas industry with a path to independently verify methane […]
