Bridger Photonics’ Gas Mapping LiDAR Earns EPA Approval

Bridger Photonics’ Gas Mapping LiDAR technology has been approved by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for regulatory compliance, making it an option for oil and gas operators to detect and reduce fugitive methane emissions. This aerial methane detection system uses laser sensors mounted on small aircraft and helicopters to scan infrastructure quickly and efficiently. By detecting, locating, and quantifying emissions from above, the technology provides actionable data that helps operators focus their resources where they’re most needed. According to Bridger, the system scans facilities at a rate more than ten times faster than traditional ground crews, reducing wasted time and prioritizing emissions-heavy sites.

With EPA approval, operators can now integrate Bridger’s technology directly into their compliance plans without needing additional applications. The Gas Mapping LiDAR system supports all detection sensitivity and site scan frequency levels required by the EPA’s Methane Rule, offering flexibility for operators to meet specific regulatory needs. This approval simplifies the compliance process while enabling targeted investigations and efficient resource allocation.
