Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP) by Highwood

Core Features

Highwood’s Emissions Intelligence Platform (EIP) is designed to ingest and reconcile disparate data types—specifically, traditional bottom-up engineering estimates with empirical top-down measurements from drones, aircraft, and sensors. Its main capabilities include:

• Measurement Reconciliation: Compares top-down measurements with bottom-up inventories in minutes to identify divergences and align reported values.

• OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard Workflows: Provides "on the rails" sequencing that guides users to Level 4/5 reporting, preventing the common errors that occur when managing complex, interdependent data manually.

• Uncertainty Quantification: Automates robust statistical analysis (e.g., Monte Carlo simulations) to define confidence intervals around emissions totals, a common requirement for audit-grade inventories.

• Source Category Mapping: Standardizes disparate data formats by automatically converting user inputs into defined source categories, enabling true "apples-to-apples" comparisons across assets and reporting frameworks.

• Emissions Annualization: Extrapolates snapshot measurements from detection campaigns into defensible annual estimates by applying spatial and temporal algorithms.

• Business Intelligence Dashboards: Translates complex methane data into accessible visualizations for leadership, facilitating better internal communication and strategic capital allocation.

Closing Insights

Co-founded by CEO Thomas Fox, a methane detection expert and Vanier Scholar who developed the open-source LDAR-Sim simulation tool, EIP was built by experienced oil-and-gas veterans. Rather than building in a vacuum, Highwood formed the Emissions Intelligence Steering Committee (EISC) in late 2023 with four leading operators to collaboratively design the platform. This "for industry, by industry" approach ensures the tool solves practical pain points, such as the need for "multiple sets of books" for different regulators.

The platform is built to handle the specific demands of the EU Methane Regulation (EUMR)—which links import access to verified data—as well as Colorado's CDPHE rules and Canada's evolving federal requirements. The platform’s value is validated by its users: in 2025, all of Highwood customers, including Civitas Resources and Triple Crown Resources, reportedly achieved OGMP 2.0 Gold Standard status, with some completing the work a full year ahead of schedule.

Beyond software, Highwood strengthens EIP’s value with complementary consulting and training services, delivering holistic support for compliance and emissions efficiency. As disclosure requirements evolve, EIP serves to enhance transparency, reduce operational risk, and strengthen stakeholder confidence. EIP is not positioned as general carbon accounting: it is methane-specific and mapped to methane reporting frameworks. Organizations seeking to streamline their methane management might therefore want to book a demo to further explore the capabilities of the Highwood's EIP.
