Greenhouse Gases & Climate diagnosis

Atmospheric emissions are an increasing concern, posing challenges for air quality and global warming. For that reason, we public authorities and industries have supported addressing these challenges by developing solutions diagnostic of these emissions.

ClimateAdvanced® Study


An essential study to understand and control greenhouse gas emissions from industrial facilities.

ClimateAdvanced® Study is used to detect sources and leaks of greenhouse gas emissions in order to implement actions to reduce your environmental footprint. 
 
Thanks to the data measured at your facility, you will be able to accurately identify and understand your GHG emissions and take action to reduce them. 

Climate change is no longer a distant threat: it is already affecting your projects, infrastructures, and investments. Anticipating these risks is no longer optional, but a key condition for performance and long-term sustainability.

We provide you with recognised expertise to turn climate constraints into drivers of action and resilience. Our solutions cover the entire risk management cycle:

Analysis & forecasting

leveraging reliable data to build clear and actionable scenarios

Risk assessment

identifying vulnerabilities and protecting your strategic assets

Adaptation planning

designing tailored strategies and strengthening your response capacities

Implementation & monitoring

embedding climate considerations into your decisions and ensuring effective long-term project management

With projects already carried out across Africa, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania, we have supported governments, financial institutions, and businesses in reducing climate risks (floods, wildfires, critical infrastructure exposure) and developing digital decision-support tools.

Our commitment: to provide you with reliable, innovative, and practical solutions that protect your investments, secure your projects, and ensure their resilience in the face of climate challenges.

These stations measure ambient concentrations of CH₄ and N₂O directly in the vicinity of the site, supporting efforts to reduce emissions

Advanced atmospheric modelling

Using our proprietary PMSS models, we simulate how emissions disperse in the atmosphere, factoring in local meteorological data to enhance efficiency and accuracy

Real-time data analysis

State-of-the-art algorithms quantify emissions, including GHG emissions, continuously, based on real-time air quality data, providing actionable insights to support carbon mitigation strategies

ClimateAdvanced® Sentinel platform

All data is visualised and accessible through our intuitive digital platform, giving operators actionable insights at a glance.

Supply and commissioning of a biogas upgrading system (Barcelona)

In June 2021, the energy company NATURGY became a pioneer in injecting renewable gas, or biomethane, into Spain's gas distribution network from landfill gas. This facility, located in Parc de l’Alba in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona), next to the controlled Elena landfill, was made possible through the use of the VALOPUR® membrane biogas upgrading system. The plant will produce 12 GWh of biomethane annually.
