About Bridger Photonics
Bridger Photonics is a technology company that specializes in the detection and reduction of methane emissions. Their primary product, Gas Mapping LiDAR, is a cutting-edge solution that helps operators in the natural gas industry identify and quantify methane emissions throughout the supply chain. This technology is sensitive enough to detect methane emissions from production to distribution utilities, providing operators with precise GPS coordinates and emission imaging for effective mitigation.
Bridger Photonics' business model is centered on providing this technology to operators in the oil and gas industry. These operators use the data provided by Gas Mapping LiDAR to prioritize and plan repairs, meet certification requirements, and reduce their overall methane emissions. This not only helps these companies comply with environmental regulations but also contributes to their sustainability efforts.
One of Bridger Photonics' notable achievements is that their Gas Mapping LiDAR technology was selected by ExxonMobil for incorporation into the first-ever application filed with the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to use advanced technology for methane emissions compliance.
Founded in 2006, Bridger Photonics has a passion for providing state-of-the-art industry solutions using optics and photonics. Their revenue comes from the sale of their technology and services to oil and gas companies looking to reduce their methane emissions and comply with environmental regulations.
