Fluxes of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) from hydroelectric and water supply reservoirs are
receiving increasing attention around the world with a number of research groups having undertaken measurements
of these emissions across a range of lakes and reservoirs located in different climates and landscapes.
The use of floating chambers (aka flux chambers) is the most common…

The Picarro SI2108 gas concentration analyzer can provide real-time monitoring of hydrogen chloride (HCl) at a parts-per-trillion (ppt) sensitivity for a variety of applications, including indoor and outdoor air quality, atmospheric science, and hazard assessment.

The Picarro SI2108 operates using Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CRDS). CRDS utilizes the unique infrared absorption…

This study addressed the scarcity of NH3 measurements in urban Europe and the diverse monitoring protocols,
hindering direct data comparison. Sixty-nine datasets from Finland, France, Italy, Spain, and the UK across
various site types, including industrial (IND, 8), traffic (TR, 12), urban (UB, 22), suburban (SUB, 12), and
regional background (RB, 15), are analyzed to this study.…

In this white paper, we discuss the rescaling of, and establishment of a traceable calibration for, formaldehyde (H2CO) on Picarro’s G2307 “LBDS” Cavity Ring Down Spectrometers.

One mustn’t look too far to find a story about natural gas production - whether from the perspective that it will transform the global economy or drive the climate past the point of no return. Whether you’re for gas or against it, the only chance we have to make clearheaded decisions about the issue is through credible measurements and complete transparency.

Without question, the…

Natural gas will not live up to its promise without the vital support of a society focused on transparency.

Friday’s post with details of Michael Woelk’s Energy Innovation Pioneer Showcase Presentation tomorrow at CERAWeek 2013 mentioned that we would be announcing a major addition to our Surveyor™ mobile, real-time geo-informatics platform…

A Picarro Surveyor™ for natural gas leaks is in Houston, TX USA this week (March 4 to 8) for test drives. Please text or call Chris Vale at 404.734.1170…

This evening at 8:00 P.M. PSD, there is an hour long KQED (Public Radio for Northern California) radio program related to hydraulic fracturing (Wednesday, March 13^th ). The program presents a conversation with Fred Krupp, president of the Environmental Defense Fund; and Rhonda Zygocki, vice president…

Stephanie Paige Ogburn of ClimateWire has written an in-depth 3-part series on natural gas that makes a compelling case for accurately measuring leaks from production to delivery. While we cooperated with Stephanie, and are flattered that…

During a visit with the EPA in Washington DC just over a month ago, Michael Woelk, Picarro CEO, had an opportunity to set down with a diverse group of media: Platts Energy Week, ClimateWire and The New York Times. Mike was impressed with the research the…
