Transforming carbon capture: your complete subsea monitoring solution

Carbon capture is more than a scientific challenge—it’s a global necessity. As industries seek to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, offshore storage represents a vital approach to managing industrial carbon footprints. However, monitoring these complex underwater environments has always been a significant hurdle—until now.
We’ve developed a CCS monitoring system that tackles the intricate challenges of offshore CO2 storage with unprecedented precision and efficiency. Our innovative technology goes beyond traditional monitoring, offering you a complete, cost-effective solution that ensures the integrity and safety of your operations.
Our solution empowers you with capabilities to detect microscopic leaks from up to 500 metres away, monitor a full 360-degree environment from a single sensor and equip your autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with advanced monitoring technologies.

We understand that managing CCS projects means balancing scientific rigour with economic realities. Our approach leverages autonomous systems to reduce operational costs and minimise personnel exposure. No more relying on expensive, crewed vessels—our technology provides continuous, comprehensive monitoring with minimal intervention.
Comprehensive Monitoring, From Injection to Decommissioning
Our solution covers every stage of your project lifecycle. Whether you need baseline information during field development, ongoing operational integrity monitoring, or comprehensive site assessment through decommissioning, we’ve got you covered. Our active Sentry sonar lander provides real-time surveillance around CO2 injection sites, while our passive combined sonar and chemical lander offers continuous monitoring along critical areas.

Long-Term, Wide-Area Assurance

Expand your monitoring capabilities with our autonomous underwater vehicles equipped with advanced chemical detection and multi-aperture side scan sonar. Gain complete assurance of your entire storage complex, establish environmental baselines and detect potential natural seepages with unprecedented accuracy.
By combining environmental monitoring of the water column with advanced seabed deformation measurement, our Autonomous Monitoring Transponders and Fetch Pressure Monitoring Transponders provide comprehensive subsurface intelligence.
