Based in Switzerland, Sensirion specialise in the development and manufacture of sensor solutions. Their fixed sensor technologies can be used to detect various types of gases. As part of the DPLA project, Cadent is trialling their Nubo Sphere sensors, which provide continuous methane emissions monitoring. Sensirion’s Nubo Sphere combines state-of-the-art sensor technology with advanced analytics and comprehensive software to enable oil and gas producers to reliably manage their emissions.
Cadent will look to install Sensirion sensors at Above-Ground Installation (AGI)sites in East Anglia and North London Sensirion fixed sensors being utilised at AGI sites, combined with other technologies will help inform the energy operations (ops) teams and assist in detecting leaks across assets to a high level of accuracy, playing a vital role in the DPLA trials.
Training sessions for installation and servicing have been conducted with our energy ops teams in North London and East Anglia networks. The devices are being trialled across both regions, and the results will be analysed to gather important data and provide learnings for ourselves and in time the wider industry through dissemination.
Cadent is the UK’s largest gas distribution network with a 200-year legacy. We are in a unique position to build on strong foundations whilst encouraging the curiosity to think differently and the courage to embrace change. Day to day we continue to operate, maintain and innovate the UK’s largest gas network, transporting gas safely and protecting people in an emergency. Our skilled engineers and specialists remain committed to the communities we serve, working day and night to ensure gas reaches 11 million homes from Cumbria to North London and the Welsh Borders to East Anglia, to keep your energy flowing.
Here at Cadent we support the Government’s plans to reach Net Zero by 2050. That means we’re backing the introduction of hydrogen as a low carbon alternative to natural gas for the future. We know people love the controllability of gas and, with our network already in place, it makes sense to switch to the lower carbon alternative offered by hydrogen, which we believe can keep homes and businesses warm for generations to come.

We’re committed to leveraging technology to enhance the safety and efficiency of our network.
We continue to trial technologies that have the potential to feed data into the DPLA to identify and locate gas leaks in the gas distribution network.
Cadent is testing Distran leak-detection cameras in North London and East Anglia to enhance accuracy in spotting emissions and gather insights for wider industry benefit.
We’re trialling Qube’s AI-driven sensors to continuously monitor methane at AGI sites, providing insights that support safer, lower-emission network operations.
