CleanConnect.ai Earns EPA Approval for Leak Finder™

Leak Finder by CleanConnect.ai becomes first EPA-approved continuous OGI system for component-level leak detection, advancing compliance and energy transparency

WINDSOR, CO, UNITED STATES, April 29, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- CleanConnect.ai’s Leak Finder²™ system, a key component within the company’s Autonomous365™ operational AI suite, has officially received approval from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA¹) as an Alternative Test Method (ATM) for periodic screening under Subpart OOOOb and OOOOc.

This recognition marks a historic first for the energy sector and a critical step toward verifiable emissions intelligence.

Revolutionizing methane detection & control room automation
Leak Finder™ is now the first and only EPA-approved continuous Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) system to offer component-level leak detection, as opposed to traditional area-based monitoring. CleanConnect.ai sets a new standard for emissions compliance, autonomous control room operations, and the emerging market for certified energy attributes.

“It's a leap forward into the era of Empirical Energy. We are proud to be the first and only company offering a continuous OGI system with live remote control, integration with the operational AI suite, and certified data for energy trade.” ~Mark Smith, CSO of CleanConnect.ai

What sets Leak Finder™ apart?

• First and only EPA-approved component-level continuous OGI system
• Live View remote control: pan/tilt/zoom OGI camera for precise leak identification
• Seamless integration with Autonomous365™ suite (gas leak detection, liquid leak detection, fire and smoke alerts, PPE compliance monitoring, tank-level telemetry)
• Embedded within a complete MMRV³ (Monitor, Measure, Report, Verify) system to generate Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs)
• Integrated with ProMax 6 for real-time mass balance and emissions modeling
• Part of the Empirical Energy platform for carbon intensity tracking, feedstock blending, and blockchain-based energy trading
• Deployed via a 3D digital twin system for optimal camera siting and blind spot elimination
• Field-proven to eliminate up to 90% of emissions-related call-outs and boost control room efficiency by 10x Leak Finder by CleanConnect.ai

With greater than 90% detection accuracy for methane leaks as low as 2 kg/hr at distances up to 120 meters, Leak Finder™ is the most advanced and reliable methane monitoring solution available.
