Mid-infrared light is absorbed by many organic molecules including methane and analysing the absorption spectra of air that the light has passed through reveals the presence of these molecules.

Mirico, a spin-out from the UK's Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) specializing in mid-infrared spectroscopy for gas sensing, says it has raised $2 million from investors including the energy giant ...

Video has revealed the extent of a methane gas leak in Los Angeles, after infrared footage emerged showing a billowing cloud of the gas, invisible to the naked eye. Copious amounts of black smoke ...

Agricultural and waste industries also emit significant amounts of methane, while natural gas production relies on coalbed methane or CBM, which means that detecting leaks is also critical to the ...

Methane is invisible to the human eye but can be detected using an infrared camera like the kind the company has developed for monitoring emissions from space. EU vows retaliation for Nord Stream ...
