Santa Clara – October 06, 2026 -- Picarro, Inc. achieved a 100% detection rate for methane leaks during real-world field testing conducted under the DVGW-funded Fahrzeuggestützte Methanmessung (FaMeGQ) research project in Germany, the only system among six vehicle-based technologies evaluated to detect all 10 methane events presented during live-network validation.
Picarro detects all 10 methane events in Regensburg field trial
During testing on roughly 50 kilometers of active gas distribution network in Regensburg, Picarro's Advanced Mobile Leak Detection (AMLD) system identified all eight controlled methane releases installed for the evaluation, plus two additional, previously unknown leaks that were later independently confirmed. No other participating system matched this result.
