Abd Elrahman Afifi from National Gas will be presenting at Hazardex Live 2025 and discuss gas detection and the methods and equipment that are used to locate and minimise gas emissions and leaks.

Abd will look at the advantages and disadvantages of current technology, such as point detectors, before discussing National Gas Transmission’s research projects on the use of various gas detection systems and technologies that can be used as we move towards a hydrogen-blend and 100% hydrogen future. In particular, Abd will look at MethaneTrack™ which is a system that enables emissions and leak reduction by accurately detecting, locating and quantifying gas leaks and emissions.
