Energy

Traditional oil and gas production has seen an increase in demand over the last several decades and is being propelled by population growth, urbanization, and the consumer middle class in developing countries. Technological advances have reduced exploration and processing costs, which historically have capped energy prices and solidified fossil fuel as the primary source of energy.

However the reliance on traditional fossil fuel is changing. Due to global warming and geopolitical changes, there is a rapidly growing interest in alternate energy, a broad category composed of various sources of non-fossil based fuels including: hydrogen, syngas, biomass, and biomethane. Of particular interest are renewable or sustainable fuels able to provide clean, efficient, and economical alternatives to traditional oil, gas, and coal.

Using a gas analyzer for component monitoring and compositional analysis ensures that energy is produced in a safe and economical manner. The highly configurable Micro GC Fusion® Gas Analyzer meets gas analysis needs for a wide variety of energy applications including: natural gas, refinery gas, catalyst research, biomethane, biomass, and syngas.

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emission localization and monitoring is essential in order to meet the targets to reduce global warming. The IR-based methane leak detector IRwin® will help companies and organizations to find, pinpoint and analyze more leaks in a safe and cost efficient manner.
