Pipeline Leak Detection Technology Review

Highwood performed research and delivered a public report on the available methane detection technologies for pipeline methane leaks.

Commissioned by EDF, Highwood Emissions Management developed a report on commercially available technologies to detect pipeline methane leaks. The Highwood team was thorough, responsive, and thoughtful in their approach to the project. Their report catalogues an evolving industry and enhances the public discourse.
