Qube Technologies, a leader in methane emissions monitoring solutions, today announced an expanded partnership with Roeslein Renewables to monitor methane emissions across their biogas operations. Building on the success of a pilot program monitoring 18 lagoons, Roeslein will deploy additional Qube devices across 100 lagoons in Missouri, Kansas, Texas, Oklahoma, and North Carolina, encompassing their entire operational footprint.

Strategic sensor placement is critical for reliable, real-time methane detection. Detection depends not just on technology, but on understanding wind behavior, emission sources, and site constraints. 

Qube’s deployment methodology uses historical wind data, source mapping, and MILP-based optimization to design sensor arrays that maximize detection coverage and minimize false negatives. 

The Qube deployment tool turns this methodology into a practical workflow—helping operators visualize trade-offs, configure sensor layouts, and balance detection accuracy with budget. 

Emission rates, emission durations, and wind speeds all vary, which can impact a continuous monitoring system’s probability of detection. Qube has developed a solution that optimizes device placements to assure the highest levels of detection and value for customers.
