Chip-scale sensing
Silicon photonics for methane intelligence.
Building compact, low-cost methane sensors for dense, real-time monitoring networks - turning invisible emissions into actionable data.
The Challenge
Methane is invisible. Its impact is not.
Technology
Semiconductor economics for gas sensing.
We use silicon photonics to miniaturize laser-based methane spectroscopy onto manufacturable chip-scale platforms, enabling compact sensors with the potential for low-cost, high-volume deployment.
Methairion Approach
Platform
Built from the inside out.
Every component is engineered for performance, reliability, and scale.
Applications
Designed for real-world methane monitoring.
Oil & Gas Infrastructure
Monitor pipelines, wellheads, and processing facilities for fugitive emissions.
Vision
Team
Built by experts in photonics, metrology, and systems.
