# Project Canary

> Project Canary is a Denver-based climate-tech public-benefit corporation that turns methane and emissions data into operational intelligence for energy companies. It pairs high-fidelity continuous monitoring hardware (the EPA-approved Canary X sensor) with a cloud platform (SENSE) and independent well-level ESG ratings (TrustWell), helping oil & gas producers and natural gas utilities detect leaks, cut emissions, meet regulations, and prove the climate attributes of their gas.

- **Founders:** Chris Romer (Co-founder, former CEO, now Executive Chairman), William 'Will' Foiles (Co-founder, CEO), Anna Scott (Co-founder)
- **Team size:** Approximately 76-97 employees (2025-2026)
- **Products:** Canary X, SENSE Platform, TrustWell Certification, Canary RECON, Canary Carbon Portal
- **Notable:** EPA approval of Canary X as Alternative Test Method MATM-010 in April 2025, Raised ~$121M total, including a $111M Series B led by Insight Partners (2022), Surpassed 10 billion field measurements on its platform (2025)

## Products & services

- **Canary X** — Flagship fixed continuous methane monitoring sensor using near-IR tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy; detects roughly 0.125 ppm with ~60-second reporting. Deployed in networks and EPA-approved in April 2025 as Alternative Test Method MATM-010.
- **SENSE Platform** — Hardware-agnostic cloud SaaS that aggregates and visualizes data from fixed sensors, drones, mobile units, OGI cameras, flyovers and satellites in near-real-time, localizing emission events and sending alerts.
- **TrustWell Certification** — Independent well-by-well ESG rating analyzing 600+ data points (methane intensity, venting, water handling, land impact, community engagement) - the brand standard for the Responsibly Sourced Gas market.
- **Canary RECON** — Vehicle-mounted mobile leak detection and field investigation tool.
- **Canary Carbon Portal** — Enterprise carbon accounting and regulatory reporting product (launched June 2024) with registry integrations to Xpansiv and EarnDLT.
- **LDAR Workflows** — Leak detection and repair workflow tooling for EPA Subpart OOOOb/c compliance.
- **Aeris Analyzers** — Laser-based gas analyzers (ethane, N2O, formaldehyde, benzene, ethylene oxide) from the 2022 Aeris Technologies acquisition, extending the company beyond oil & gas into utilities, landfills, agriculture and industrial.
