CASE STUDY Project Canary, a startup based in Denver, Colorado, was created to help reduce the unintended release of natural gas into the earth’s atmo- sphere. Project Canary uses an IoT solution which continuously gathers real-time air quality data that will help industrial customers curtail emissions, avoid fines, and protect the environment. Natural gas leaks at oil and gas production sites result in millions of dollars in fines for oil and gas companies as well as lost revenue and damage to the environment. The challenge is that methane, the primary constituent in natural gas, is lighter than air, odorless, and invisible. There are few options for effectively monitoring leaks. Until Project Canary was developed, the only way to detect the presence of a leak was to physically inspect
