Kairos Aerospace, established in 2014 and located in Sunnyvale, California, focuses on aerial methane detection and emissions monitoring for the oil and gas sector. The company has developed a patented technology called the LeakSurveyor, which utilizes advanced aerial imaging techniques to efficiently identify methane leaks across vast areas. This system can monitor up to 100 square miles per day, significantly surpassing traditional ground inspection methods. The benefits of their technology include improved compliance with evolving regulations, enhanced safety, and better brand reputation for clients. Since its inception, Kairos Aerospace has surveyed extensive oilfields, preventing the release of over 18 billion cubic feet of methane into the atmosphere.
In July 2024, the company raised $26 million in funding to expand its operations and enhance its services. With its innovative approach, Kairos Aerospace aims to address the critical issue of methane emissions in the oil and gas industry effectively.
