Description
HydroTerra is proud to be working closely with Sniffer Robotics to introduce an innovative methane monitoring solution to the Australian market. As part of this partnership, HydroTerra has invested in the latest Sniffer Robotics technology, including acquiring its own dedicated drone platform and establishing in-house capability with a qualified drone pilot. This strategic investment positions HydroTerra at the forefront of advanced methane emissions monitoring and represents an exciting new chapter in our commitment to delivering cutting-edge environmental monitoring solutions.
Sniffer Robotics is a methane monitoring technology company that combines autonomous drone systems, advanced methane sensing technology, GIS-based analytics, and cloud reporting tools to deliver accurate methane intelligence. The primary focus is helping operators identify, quantify, and understand fugitive methane emissions across large and complex facilities.
At the core of this offering is the SnifferDRONE™ platform, an autonomous drone equipped with high-sensitivity methane sensors that can rapidly survey entire sites and generate detailed methane maps. The system is designed to locate leaks, quantify emissions, support landfill surface emissions monitoring (SEM), optimize gas collection systems, improve renewable natural gas production, and provide compliance-ready reporting.
The technology is widely applied to:
• Landfills and landfill gas systems
• Renewable Natural Gas (RNG) facilities
• Biogas plants and anaerobic digesters
• Wastewater treatment facilities
• Dairy and livestock operations
• Industrial process plants and gas infrastructure
A significant differentiator is that the SnifferDRONE™ methodology is approved by the U.S. EPA and Environment and Climate Change Canada under OTM-51, which positions it as a recognized solution for methane monitoring and compliance applications.
