Welcome to the
Gas detection and measurement science for the energy sector
Who are we
Located in Atlantic Canada, at St. Francis Xavier University, FluxLab is a Methane Centre of Excellence in gas emissions measurement and data processing techniques for quantifying emissions in natural and industrial settings.
We have been involved in ecological gas measurement projects from pole to pole, monitoring design for Carbon Capture and Storage sites, and, for much of the past decade, our focus has been methane abatement in Oil and Gas and Solid Waste industries.
Our objective is to help better understand, manage, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Our research involves technology development, inventory studies, computation, and regulatory design, and policy development. Our partners include provincial and federal regulators, Canadian and international NGOs, and companies like Eotrac, Eosense, and PAL Aerospace, who create methane sensors and intelligence services for the market.
Many companies, NGOs and government departments bring their questions to FluxLab to be answered with our specialized research, facilities, now-how, and proven ability to solve complex problems.
