Nubo Sphere receives US EPA approval for periodic screenings
We're proud to announce that our continuous methane monitoring solution, Nubo Sphere, has been approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an alternative test method for periodic screenings under NSPS OOOOb regulations. This approval highlights Nubo Sphere’s ability to seamlessly integrate the advantages of continuous monitoring into regulatory compliance programs by replacing traditional periodic screening surveys.
Fenceline monitoring solution: Nubo Sphere
Continuous monitoring represents a powerful tool for methane mitigation. Today it can be used for faster and more efficient LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair), understanding emission profiles and quantification. In the future it will be essential for regulatory compliance, root cause analysis and reconciliation. Nubo Sphere changes the state-of-the-art in continuous methane emissions monitoring. It has never been easier to reliably detect, localize and quantify fugitive methane emissions. The future-proof design and our proprietary photoacoustic-based laser spectroscopy sensor technology lower the total cost of ownership while offering highest performance resulting in maximum data quality and uptime. Manage all your sites at a glance: from alerting, reporting to checking system health our software makes it easy for you to get comprehensive insights about your sites' emissions.
Ready to lead the way in emissions reduction? We are here to support you!
Let’s boost your environmental stewardship and operational excellence! Our Nubo Sphere continuous monitoring solution offers oil and gas producers several benefits:
Reduce costs and total emissions
Repair the sources of emissions faster. Nubo Sphere provides real-time emissions data and actionable insights to reduce emissions, improve efficiency, and increase profitability. More insights, less emissions!
Comply with new regulations and voluntary standards
The global regulatory environment is changing. Continuously and accurately detecting, localizing, and quantifying methane emissions allows operators to efficiently achieve compliance, meet ESG goals, reach OGMP 2.0 Level 5 and detect super emitters first—all while staying competitive. Get ahead, stay ahead.
Detect and qualify super emitters
Stay ahead of third-party monitoring. Under the EPA Super Emitter Program, certified third-parties will report emission events >100 kg/h to the EPA for validation and publication. But there’s no need to publicly report internally detected emissions. Detect super emitters first.
Improve operations and personnel safety
Detect emissions and access insights remotely. Nubo Sphere provides quick detection of leaks and real-time emissions data, allowing operators to optimize processes, minimize losses and enhance productivity. Take targeted action from afar.
Attract and retain financial stakeholders
Create financially sound and socially responsible opportunities. Reducing methane emissions is not only environmentally responsible, it also presents a compelling case to investors and insurers based on reduced waste, regulatory compliance, a commitment to operational excellence, and increased profitability and shareholder value. Stand out among the competition.
Demonstrate your ESG commitment and reach net-zero goals
Make your environmental stewardship public. Nubo Sphere provides empirical data from operations, making ESG reporting verifiable, credible and trustworthy. Take the guess work out of meeting emissions reduction objectives.

Clearing the air: how continuous monitoring supports compliance with the latest EU methane regulations
The EU is taking a monumental step in the fight against climate change with new methane rules for the energy sector. In April, the European Parliament reached a provisional agreement to cut methane emissions, a major contributor to global warming. These regulations aim for a 45% reduction by 2030, in line with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and, crucially, a 0.3°C reduction in global warming by 2045. Our latest blog post unpacks these rules, with a focus on continuous monitoring, and looks at how they'll shape the future of emissions reduction.
