April 29, 2025 – Today, Our Nation’s Energy Future (“ONE Future”), a coalition of approximately 50 natural gas companies taking action to reduce methane emissions, announced the recipient of its fourth annual ONE Future Awards. LongPath Technologies has been recognized in the category of Technology of the Year (Production) for its groundbreaking laser monitoring solution.
“Each year, our ONE Future Awards winners represent companies and technologies that have made material contributions to methane emissions reductions in the natural gas industry,” said Jim Kibler, ONE Future’s Executive Director. “With its work to provide real-time emissions monitoring data and future-looking solutions, LongPath exemplifies the progress of our industry, and reflects ONE Future’s commitment to continuous improvement.”
ONE Future members, such as Jonah Energy, have benefitted from LongPath’s high frequency laser monitoring solution for monitoring production sites. Earlier this year, LongPath Technologies became the first continuous monitoring technology to receive U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) approval for fully replacing Audio-Visual-Olfactory (AVO) and Optical Gas Imaging (OGI) inspections under OOOO regulations.
“We are deeply honored to be recognized by ONE Future as Technology of the Year for Production,” said Ian Dickinson, CEO of LongPath Technologies. “Across U.S. basins, our laser-based monitoring is detecting and quantifying methane emissions in real time—pinpointing leaks in hours instead of weeks. This recognition reflects how continuous monitoring is transforming the industry’s ability to respond quickly and effectively. Lasers don’t turn wrenches—operators do—and our technology ensures they have the actionable data they need to take swift, informed action.”
Previous recipients of the ONE Future Annual Awards include Konica Minolta Sensing Americas, WeldFit, Picarro, and Williams’ Alan Armstrong.
About ONE Future: ONE Future was formed when seven companies came together in 2014 with a focus to collectively achieve a science-based average rate of methane emissions across our facilities equivalent to one percent or less of total natural gas production. Since our formation, we have grown to approximately 50 companies accounting for some of the largest natural gas producers, transmission, and distribution companies in the U.S. ONE Future members operate in 23 out of the 38 production basins and have distribution operations in 36 out of the 50 states, other segments of the value chain operate in multiple regions of the country as well. Therefore, ONE Future’s data represent a geographically diverse and material share of the U.S. natural gas supply chain. For more information visit onefuture.us.
