Kairos Aerospace, Inc (Kairos) a provider of large-scale aerial monitoring of methane emissions, secures $9 Million in Series C Funding

April 15, 2020 By admin Leave a Comment

Kairos Aerospace, Inc (Kairos) a leading provider of large-scale aerial monitoring of methane emissions, today announced the closing of a $9 million Series C funding round, led by OGCI Climate Investments (“CI”), new investor John Crane, a Smiths Group company, and Energy Innovation Capital (“EIC”). The company will use the funds to expand operations and grow the geographic footprint of methane emissions monitoring.

“We want to thank our investors for their support of our technology, team, and mission,” said Steve Deiker, co-founder and CEO. “Our approach, accuracy and data actionability contribute to our reputation as the best in the field. We’ve seen significant growth in the past year as we made substantial impacts for our customers, enabling them to enhance their operational excellence and sustainability. We are saving our customers money, time and labor and look forward to continued growth as a result of this funding round.”

Founded in 2014, Kairos is a leader in providing actionable data on major sources of methane emissions. Using patented processes and innovative technology, the company conducts basin-wide aerial surveys to identify the largest leaks, pinpointed by infrared data, GPS and aerial photography. Methane emissions are highly skewed towards large but relatively infrequent sources contributing the bulk of total emissions. This skewed distribution offers the opportunity to quickly make significant reductions in methane emissions when corrected.

“OGCI Climate Investments is pleased to again join EIC as well as new investor John Crane in providing growth capital to Kairos at this exciting stage in the company’s development,” said Sam Gabbita of OGCI Climate Investments, who joined the Kairos board. “We look forward to partnering with the management team to help them continue the company’s strong growth and provide world-class methane detection technology and services to the oil & gas industry.”

In 2019, the company flew over 135 thousand miles in the Permian Basin, completing the largest aerial survey of methane emissions ever conducted. Kairos used the resulting data to grow its customer base by 71 percent and prevent 3.9 billion cubic feet of methane from being released into the atmosphere, which is equivalent to taking over 425 thousand cars off the road.

“John Crane, a Smith Group company, is delighted to partner with Kairos Aerospace, in support of their game-changing contribution to methane abatement,” said Jean Vernet, CEO and Division President, John Crane. “Kairos’ environmental technology enables the capture of critical, reliable and archivable data that will facilitate the efficient reduction of global methane emission across industries. The methane detection capabilities of Kairos respond to the energy industry-wide needs for more visibility into emissions reductions in response to evolving standards. This partnership is a testament of our commitment to be a proactive agent of greenhouse gas emissions reduction and environmental sustainability.”

Kairos also recently received third-party validation from experts in remote methane monitoring. A study conducted by Stanford University researchers provided unequivocal evidence that the company’s technology accurately and reliably identifies the large sources of methane that are responsible for 50 to 90 percent of total methane emissions in the field.

“Since Energy Innovation Capital’s initial investment in 2017, Kairos has demonstrated its ability to cost effectively identify methane super emitters as a partner with the oil & gas industry,” said Benjamin Stanzl, a Managing Director at EIC and member of the Kairos board. “We are excited to welcome John Crane on board alongside OGCI Climate Investments to broadly roll out Kairos’ methane emission detection solutions to the industry.”
