Calgary’s Qube Technologies is scaling its methane monitoring partnership with Roeslein Renewables, marking a major step forward in emissions management for biogas operations across the United States.
Following a successful pilot program across 18 lagoons, Roeslein Renewables will now implement Qube’s continuous emissions monitoring technology across 100 lagoons in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and North Carolina—covering the company’s entire operational footprint.
The expansion comes after Qube’s system demonstrated clear operational benefits, replacing manual inspections with continuous, automated leak detection. Roeslein’s covered lagoon digesters, used in converting agricultural waste into renewable natural gas, face complex challenges in identifying emissions across wide, open-air surfaces.
“Traditional monitoring methods required our teams to physically walk or drive around lagoons looking for leaks, which was inherently challenging given the nature of our facilities,” said Chris Roach, President of Roeslein Renewables. “Qube’s automated monitoring solution has revolutionized how we identify and respond to emissions events, enhancing operational efficiency while reinforcing our environmental commitments.”
Qube’s sensors provide 24/7 monitoring for methane, hydrogen sulfide (H₂S), and ammonia (NH₃), with real-time alerts and a centralized dashboard that aggregates emissions data across all sites. According to the company, the solution offers an estimated return on investment within 12 months, driven by faster detection and repair of leaks.
“This expansion represents a significant vote of confidence in our technology’s ability to address the unique challenges of biogas operations,” said Alex MacGregor of Qube Technologies. “Our solution empowers operators to transition beyond manual inspections to data-driven emissions management, offering unprecedented visibility into their operations.”
The partnership underscores growing demand for climate tech tools that reduce the environmental impact of renewable energy infrastructure—particularly in agriculture-based biogas systems where detecting leaks can be both difficult and critical.
Qube Technologies, headquartered in Calgary, has been gaining momentum as a cleantech innovator, helping oil, gas, and renewable energy operators meet emissions targets through advanced sensing and analytics.
