What they do

Problem

Energy infrastructure operators need inspection methods that can cover large areas while precisely detecting methane leaks and power line defects without high emissions or costs.

Solution

HyLight builds and operates autonomous small unmanned hydrogen airships (the HyLighter) that provide long-range, energy-efficient aerial monitoring for infrastructure inspections.

Who it's for

Energy infrastructure operators such as pipeline companies and electric utilities that conduct large-scale inspection and monitoring.
