Unique drone-based solution identifies natural gas leaks and greenhouse gas emissions

ABB has recently launched HoverGuard™ – the world’s fastest, and most sensitive UAV-based solution to detect, map and quantify natural gas emissions. Millions of kilometers of pipelines traverse the globe, often crossing inhospitable terrain to supply industrial and domestic gas. Operators of these networks must ensure the safety, integrity and reliability of their pipes but detection of odorless and invisible gas leaks can be challenging and expensive. ABB’s latest addition to its ABB Ability™ Mobile Gas Leak Detection System, HoverGuard™, provides the solution by finding leaks faster and more reliably than ever before.
