CleanConnect.ai’s Leak Finder™ system, a key component within the company’s Autonomous365™ operational AI suite, has officially received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as an Alternative Test Method (ATM) for periodic screening under Subpart OOOOb and OOOOc.
This recognition marks a historic first for the energy sector and a critical step toward verifiable emissions intelligence.
Revolutionizing methane detection & control room automation
Leak Finder™ is now the first and only EPA-approved continuous Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) system to offer component-level leak detection, as opposed to traditional area-based monitoring. CleanConnect.ai sets a new standard for emissions compliance, autonomous control room operations, and the emerging market for certified energy attributes.
“It's a leap forward into the era of Empirical Energy. We are proud to be the first and only company offering a continuous OGI system with live remote control, integration with the operational AI suite, and certified data for energy trade.”
What sets Leak Finder™ apart?
With the EPA approval, Leak Finder™ sets a new industry benchmark — not just in technology, but in how operators can approach emissions management. Here’s what makes Leak Finder™ special:
- First and only EPA-approved component-level continuous OGI system
- Live View remote control: pan/tilt/zoom OGI camera for precise leak identification
- Seamless integration with Autonomous365™ suite (gas leak detection, liquid leak detection, fire and smoke alerts, PPE compliance monitoring, tank-level telemetry)
- Embedded within a complete MMRV (Monitor, Measure, Report, Verify) system to generate Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)
- Integrated with ProMax 6 for real-time mass balance and emissions modeling
- Part of the Empirical Energy platform for carbon intensity tracking, feedstock blending, and blockchain-based energy trading
- Deployed via a 3D digital twin system for optimal camera siting and blind spot elimination
- Field-proven to eliminate up to 90% of emissions-related call-outs and boost control room efficiency by 10x
With greater than 90% detection accuracy for methane leaks as low as 2 kg/hr at distances up to 120 meters, Leak Finder™ is the most advanced and reliable methane monitoring solution available.
“Operators can finally see what’s happening in real time and have the data to back it up. Leak Finder™ is about making compliance easier and helping the industry move toward cleaner, more transparent energy.”
As federal methane regulations grow stricter and the demand for certified low-carbon energy accelerates, the CleanConnect.ai Leak Finder system is now ready for deployment across facilities looking to lead in compliance, automation, and energy transparency.
