A IoT Based Solution for Gas Leak Map
An innovative solution able to provide real-time gas leak maps for gas network and industrial sites will be presented. This solution is being developed in collaboration by eLichens (a gas sensor leader), CEA LETI (a world-wide level research institute) and GRDF (the French gas distributor leader) and its ambition is to develop:
- A low cost 10-ppm sensor for CH4 detection
- A connected station that includes this sensor and allows remote monitoring of gas leak through a web interface
- A gas leak map computed from a network of connected stations deployed on an industrial site.
This solution will be low cost, easy to deploy and will provide real time monitoring. It will detect gas leaks in real time either continuous or temporary (related to some process or conditions).

Company Profile
eLichens is a based in Grenoble and develop innovative solution based on gas sensors for the industrial safety and the leak detection and repair markets. The offering includes gas sensors, connected stations for remote monitoring of gas leaks and data viewer and analytics to manage networks of these stations, quantify and locate leaks. These solutions are based on unique MEMs based IR emitter that has been developed in partnership with CEA LETI and protected by more than 55 patents. eLichens has successfully produced and sold ten of thousands of sensors in the industrial safety market. eLichens is now extending its offering with a new innovative sensor – called 1 ppm sensor – designed for the leak detection applications on industrial and biomethane sites.
