SensorUp

Core Features

SensorUp’s platform is designed around interoperable environmental telemetry and continuous methane intelligence. Rather than relying on spreadsheet-based sustainability workflows, the platform emphasizes automated sensor integration, geospatial monitoring, and digital MRV processes capable of aggregating large volumes of operational emissions data in near real time. Some of its main features are:

• OGC SensorThings API Architecture – Uses the open-standard SensorThings API framework to integrate heterogeneous IoT sensors and environmental telemetry into interoperable monitoring systems.

• Methane Emissions Management – Supports methane detection, quantification, leak tracking, and methane-intensity calculations for oil and gas operations.

• Multi-Sensor Data Integration – Aggregates data from satellites, aerial surveys, continuous monitoring systems, OGI inspections, SCADA systems, and field operations into a unified data fabric.

• Digital MRV Workflows – Enables digital measurement, reporting, and verification processes for regulatory compliance, methane certification, and emissions transparency initiatives.

• Operational Workflow Automation – Integrates with systems such as SAP, IBM Maximo, maintenance platforms, and work-order systems to automate emissions-response and compliance workflows.

• Geospatial Visualization & Analytics – Provides GIS-enabled visualization and environmental intelligence tools for identifying emissions events, operational anomalies, and methane hotspots.

Closing Insights

SensorUp was founded in Calgary by Dr. Steve Liang, a geomatics engineering researcher and one of the principal contributors behind the OGC SensorThings API standard. The platform initially emerged from research into interoperable geospatial IoT infrastructure before expanding into methane emissions management and industrial environmental intelligence. SensorUp has since positioned itself as a specialized methane and digital MRV platform focused on operational telemetry and environmental interoperability. The platform has worked with organizations like Oxy, MiQ and other methane-monitoring technology providers to support emissions transparency and methane certification workflows.

In recent developments, Alberta’s Emissions Reduction Alberta program awarded funding to SensorUp to support further development of its multi-sensor methane monitoring and reporting platform. The company has also expanded partnerships related to methane certification and satellite-based methane intelligence. For industrial operators, SensorUp functions less as a conventional carbon accounting platform and more as an operational methane intelligence and environmental telemetry infrastructure layer.
