EU COMPLIANT: MEASURING AND REPORTING EMISSIONS WITH THE MOST ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY
EMISSIONS REPORTING IS NOW MANDATORY. START ENSURING COMPLIANCE TODAY
At Esders we are your technological partner for full compliance with the EU regulation on methane. We have the latest technology approved and necessary to perform LDAR campaigns with total accuracy and generate emissions reports in a simple way to send to the competent authorities, an obligation of the new regulation.
Context of emissions reporting
Through the Emissions Reports, which are part of Regulation (EU) 2024/1787, the EU Commission aims to measure the amount of emissions emitted at country/state level and compare them with 1990 historical data to ensure that the 55% reduction from 1990 levels is monitored.
To compile this data, the EU Commission will ask Member States to submit their emissions figures. As part of this report, each Member State will also be required to collect and report data on emissions released by gas companies and network operators.
The report must include:
- Type and location of emission sources.
- Methane emissions in tonnes (kg*1000) and/or CO2 equivalents.
- Quantification methodologies used.
- Total methane emissions from operated assets.
- Ownership shares and emissions from non-operated assets ((EU) 2024/1787, Article 12(4)).
The EU Commission will require each Member State to submit its emission reports in the weight/unit time format at national level. In turn, EU Member States will require all stakeholders to submit their emission reports at two different levels: at source level and at site level.

Challenges of mandatory emission reporting
Find devices capable of quantifying emissions directly at source in tonnes/year (for both leaks and flaring).
Venting is only allowed if flaring is not technically feasible. In addition, the authorities must be informed of the need and appropriate evidence must be provided.
The device must be able to generate a report based on the data collected.
The reporting mechanism should be easy to integrate into existing systems.
Site-level reports should be cross-checked with the sum of all source-level measurements, using vehicular or airborne technologies.
Our solutions to comply with emission reporting obligations
At Esders, we have the 4 technology solutions you need to comply with the new EU methane regulation on emissions reporting. With a full range of advanced tools, we equip you to meet the challenges of today’s regulations, ensuring efficiency and compliance.
Solutions to the technological challenge
OLLI is a multi-functional tool: personal protective equipment (PPE), gas measurement device, surface leak detector and emission reporting system. It includes integrated emission quantification technology, allowing your leak detection equipment to simultaneously detect leaks and complete the required emission reports for exposed and above ground pipelines and flaring/venting activities.
With its innovative, state-of-the-art laser technology and modular system, Laser HUNTER provides leak detection and emission monitoring with impressive accuracy and fast response. In addition, it integrates emission quantification. When used in conjunction with Vakumobil, underground leaks can be effectively monitored, as these create gas clouds that can alter actual values. Thanks to the output connection with Laser HUNTER, Vakumobil takes care of removing this accumulated cloud and adjusts the measured gas mass, ensuring that emission reports are truly accurate.
Mobile Gas Flares
Esders gas flares respond directly to EU 2024 regulations, which prohibit venting and only allow flaring under strict conditions: 99% hydrocarbon destruction efficiency, self-ignition and the ability to report flared gas volumes. Esders offers three models – S, M and L – that meet all these criteria and are equipped with an output to connect to OLLI and report emissions.

What can I do with Esders Connect?
#1 It records date, time, GPS coordinates, operator signature and more, ensuring traceability of measurements and regulatory compliance.
#2 Through the data collected, it automatically generates official reports for the competent authorities.
#3 It does not require integration with your current system (GIS, etc.), generates and sends PDF reports ready to be stored in any platform.
Measurements and reports at source and site level
Using the Esders solutions described above, your team can now complete reports at source level in a fully automated sequence. But what happens at site level? Regulations require aerial or vehicle detection for site-level reporting, and the results must match the sum of the source-level measurements, adding new levels of complexity.
The solution? Let’s close the loop with Laser HUNTER, the core of a modular system that allows the device to be mounted on vehicles for mobile leak detection. Responding to the EU’s requirement for in-vehicle monitoring, this modular approach allows you to simultaneously perform both site-level and source-level monitoring, transforming a linear sequence into a closed-loop cycle.
