Our name means 'clean air,' and our mission is methane.

Kathairos completely eliminates methane venting at remote oil and gas well sites by using liquid nitrogen – an inert, non-polluting fuel – to operate pneumatic devices. In doing so, the system replaces the need for methane as instrument gas, and the subsequent venting of this highly potent greenhouse gas during routine well site operation. 

The technology is profoundly simple, reliable and cost-effective when compared to mitigation solutions requiring solar, battery, generator and air compressor system combinations. The nitrogen storage tank is simply plugged into the existing methane fuel system, and operations begin. The Kathairos solution works flawlessly in all weather conditions, has no power requirements, moving parts or complexity, and relies simply on the law of thermodynamics to operate. 

The technology has seen unprecedented adoption across 17 North American shale basins with more than 70 major oil and gas producers. Due to the highly scalable and economical nature of the solution, Kathairos is able to service an unparalleled assortment of well sites, locations and vent rates, with system deployment in six weeks or less. 

Kathairos is proud to partner with Canadian producers to understand their decarbonization goals, plans and progress, and help them meet incoming zero vent regulations while earning valuable emission offset credits. 

Over the last 12 months, Kathairos has mitigated more than 40,000 metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions from our customer’s operations – the equivalent of 660,000 trees planted in a single year. We are just getting started, and invite you to check out our rolling GHG abatement tracker at https://ghg.kathairos.com.

Kathairos’ unprecedented Canadian and US expansion is driven by both voluntary and regulatory emission reduction targets, as the energy industry collectively moves toward lower emission practices and ambitious decarbonization goals.
