Sustainability

Machfu develops solutions that are good for the climate and good for business.
We help industrial operators comply with regulations and meet their ESG goals. For example, our methane monitoring solution addresses a potent greenhouse gas that plays an outsized role in near term climate change. The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said in its latest report that limiting warming to a degree that secures a livable future will require reducing methane emissions by about a third by 2030. The good news is that methane emissions from oil and gas systems, which represent about 31% of all methane emissions, are both measurable and easily mitigated when detected.
