TotalEnergies MethaneLive real-time methane monitoring centre
- 13,000 methane sensors installed across all operated onshore and offshore Upstream sites in 2025.
- MethaneLive detected 35 fugitive methane emissions since its launch in early 2026, enabling targeted repairs.
- TotalEnergies aims for near‑zero methane at operated Upstream sites by 2030, a commitment in place since 2022.
- Pangea 5 supercomputer will increase the company’s computing power sixfold from 2027 to support AI applications.
What MethaneLive does
MethaneLive is a global methane‑emissions monitoring centre that combines real‑time data from in‑field sensors with advanced algorithms and operator expertise to detect, measure and analyse methane releases, alert operators, identify root causes and recommend corrective actions.
Scope and operational results
In 2025 TotalEnergies installed 13,000 permanent, real‑time methane sensors across all its operated onshore and offshore Upstream sites. Since MethaneLive launched in early 2026 it has detected 35 fugitive methane emissions and enabled their correction through targeted maintenance operations.
Data, AI and computing
The company monitors nearly 3,000 pieces of equipment today and plans to extend AI monitoring to tens of thousands more. TotalEnergies is deploying agentic AI to better target high‑emitting equipment and improve fugitive‑emission detection, and will boost computing capacity with the Pangea 5 supercomputer (sixfold increase) from 2027.
Partnerships and targets
To scale data and AI, TotalEnergies has signed data partnerships with Emerson and Cognite and is advancing collaboration with Mistral AI. The initiative supports the company’s existing pledge, made in 2022, to aim for near‑zero methane emissions at its operated Upstream sites by 2030.
