GRENOBLE, France--(BUSINESS WIRE)--With the increase in incidents related to industrial and residential gas leaks, eLichens, a leading designer of patented gas sensors, launches Foxberry-CH4 methane sensor for gas leak detection. The goal of Foxberry-CH4 sensor is to make the environment safe for citizens and gas utilities professionals by dramatically reducing the number of casualties and ultimately saving lives. In addition, it will cut down the cost of interventions (firefighters and gas utilities) due to false alarms that in most cases can be avoided.
