Monitor Oil & Gas
emissions with precision. Optimise with CarbonOS.

Carbonova connects SCADA, flow-metering and energy data to CarbonOS, a platform of AI agents that calculates emissions by source (combustion, flaring, venting, and fugitives estimated from process data), flags drift and ranks measures by cost per tonne of CO₂ avoided. Carbonova Sense, now at pilot stage, infers a flare’s combustion state on the asset itself. The same dataset feeds GHG Protocol, ISSB-aligned and customer reporting, with an audit trail back to the source.

The largest sources are fuel burned for power and gas compression, flaring, and methane released through venting and leaks. The world flared 167 billion cubic metres of gas in 2025, the third annual increase in a row (World Bank, 2026). And around 70% of methane emissions from fossil fuels could be cut with technology that already exists (IEA, 2026).

Offshore installations are in the UK Emissions Trading Scheme, regulated on the UK Continental Shelf by OPRED, so the CO₂ from their combustion and flaring needs allowances. The North Sea Transition Authority sets annual flare and vent consents and requires operators to reach zero routine flaring and venting by 2030. The North Sea Transition Deal also targets a 50% cut in offshore production emissions by 2030 against 2018.

For breaches after 1 January 2025, the NSTA starts its fine calculation at £500,000, and in February 2026 it fined a terminal operator £175,000 for venting more than double its consented volume (NSTA, 2026). Every tonne of CO₂ also carries a UK ETS allowance cost. CarbonOS charts flare and vent volumes from SCADA flow data against the consented limit through the year, so an overrun shows up early.

Sense, now at pilot stage, runs on the asset and combines radiometric LWIR thermal imaging, RGB vision and an acoustic proxy to infer the flare’s state: lit and normal, smoking, degraded, flameout, venting or no flow. Operators see at once when the flame goes out or combustion degrades. Vented methane is quantified only for confirmed venting, from SCADA flow data. Sense is not a methane sensor and does not detect leaks.

Yes. Every value has lineage back to its source in SCADA, ERP systems such as SAP or Oracle, or meters, plus a versioned emission factor and a change history, in line with the ISO 14064-3 verification standard. That matters because methane reporting is moving from estimates to measurement: OGMP 2.0, the industry’s reference framework, has 153 member companies covering 42% of global oil and gas production (UNEP, 2025).
