The industrial and energy sectors face increasing pressures to cut emissions and adhere to strict environmental regulations. In 2021 alone, the EPA imposed over $1 billion in fines for non-compliance. Governments and environmental bodies worldwide enforce green policies that compel major industries like oil & gas, power generation, and manufacturing to continuously and accurately monitor their emissions under stringent regulations. Regulations require a minimum of 85% monthly data availability to ensure comprehensive emissions monitoring. Every hour an analyzer is offline for calibration, repair, or drift is an hour counted against that 85%.

Continuous Emissions Monitoring Systems (CEMS) are the established standard, and on most regulated units they remain the system of record. But every CEMS has gaps. Calibration windows, RATA testing, analyzer drift, sample line faults, and unplanned outages all take the analyzer offline, and that time counts against your data availability.
ES-PEMS runs continuously alongside your CEMS using the process sensors already on the unit. When the analyzer is down, ES-PEMS keeps producing compliance-grade data. When it is running, ES-PEMS cross-validates it and flags drift before it becomes a reportable problem.
Where a regulator accepts a software-based alternative, or where a CEMS is not practical to install, ES-PEMS can also serve as the primary system. It is the first software PEMS approved by both the AER and AEP in Alberta.




ES-PEMS predicts emissions continuously from live process data, so operators see the stack condition as it changes rather than after the fact.

Set thresholds on any monitored gas or process variable. Operators are notified when a limit is approached, not after it is exceeded.

ES-PEMS flags sensor drift and equipment degradation early, which cuts unplanned downtime and extends asset life.

Our user-friendly dashboard centralizes emissions and operational data, enabling real-time monitoring, trend tracking, and remote access.

Our auto-reporting feature ensures compliance by generating accurate, up-to-date emissions reports, reducing workload and human error.

Our Efficient and Secure Predictive Emissions Monitoring system (ES-PEMS) can continuously monitor a wide range of gas emissions in real-time, including nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon monoxide, hazardous air pollutants, and greenhouse gases originating from various combustion equipment like turbines, boilers, furnaces, and OTSGs.
Our technology is a software-based system that continuously predicts emissions in real time using AI and machine learning on the process data your unit already produces. There are no analyzers, sample lines, or shelters to install.
Most operators run it alongside an existing CEMS. In that configuration, ES-PEMS keeps producing compliance-grade data through calibrations, RATAs, and analyzer outages. It also detects sensor malfunctions, corrects for sensor drift and failure, and cross-validates the numbers you report for carbon tax.
Where a regulator has approved a software-based alternative, or a CEMS is not practical to install, ES-PEMS can serve as the primary monitoring system at substantially lower capital and operating cost than hardware.
Yes, our system aids companies in adhering to a variety of federal legislation, encompassing the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, the US Clean Air Act, federal emissions regulations such as the NPRI and GHGRP, as well as provincial regulations like Alberta CEMS Codes and AMD.
Through data analysis, our technology identifies key factors influencing emissions, such as engine load percentage, flow rate, pressure, and humidity. By correlating these factors with emissions data, we uncover patterns that guide optimization strategies. Operators can then adjust combustion settings to maximize efficiency and minimize emissions release, such as fine-tuning fuel-to-air ratios or optimizing engine load. This proactive approach not only mitigates emissions but also enhances operational efficiency.
Our ES-PEMS is the first approved model by regulators in Canada. We filed a patent (patent pending) in the US market. VL Energy can provide customized emissions monitoring plans based on user needs, help companies benefit from carbon tax credits, stay up to date with emissions regulations, and provide accurate emissions monitoring and reporting.
Yes, VL Energy can create a customized emissions reduction plan for your company. Our ES-PEMS involves analyzing your company's emissions data, identifying areas where emissions can be reduced, and developing a tailored plan to achieve emission reduction goals. We use advanced analytics and machine learning algorithms to help you optimize your operations and minimize your carbon footprint. Our team of experts will work closely with your company to ensure the plan is feasible, cost-effective, and aligned with your sustainability goals.
