Rooted in Energy and Science
Empowering Industry to Achieve Climate Targets and Compliance With Methane Regulations
Born from a strong joint venture. Rooted in energy and science, Adlares was founded through an alliance between Ruhrgas, the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology (ILT) – with one clear goal: to build the world’s leading monitoring solution, CHARM®. These roots still shape the company’s actions today.
Science-Led.
Future-Ready.
Our development-team of world class laser physicists and engineers sets standards in airborne emission monitoring.
Our service team of data-scientists, flight operators and solution experts looks back on 250.000 km of inspected pipeline. Already offering the most accurate measurement on the market, we’re now developing the next generation – a new system for high-precision methane leak detection and emissions measurement at compressor stations, metering and control stations, and tank farms. The new system will be designed to be a platform-independent, scalable and cost-effective solution.
For this project, the ILB has selected us to receive ProFIT innovation funding. As part of this program, the Ministry for Economic Affairs, Energy, Climate Action and European Affairs (MWAEK) supports the development of innovative products.
We envision a world where methane emissions are measured, not estimated – and reduced because they can finally be seen.
A European Company
Based in the Berlin metropolitan region, and with more than 20 years of experience in the energy sector across Europe, we are among the most experienced companies in the field. We’re not only thoroughly familiar with European regulations, but also well-versed in national and regional procedures.
Our mission is to make methane emissions visible, measurable and actionable. With certified airborne laser technology and scientific rigour, we give everyone involved – operators, authorities and the public – an inspection process they can trust: transparent in its methods, traceable in its results, and verified at every step. Because protecting the climate starts with knowing exactly where we stand.
Best Expertise Through Strong Partnerships
Strong partnerships, seamless service. Together with our partners – Air Lloyd for flight operations, Flyscan for AI-based threat detection, atmio for emissions data management, and Harbour Energy – we deliver an end-to-end service with seamless data integration into your systems.
