Aeromon in a €2.4 million equity round backed by industrial investor Vopak Ventures and angel investors.

Aeromon, a Helsinki, Finland-based emission monitoring service provider, announced closing a financing round at €4.8M.

The money is a combination of a capital loan provided by The Finnish Climate Fund and a €2.4 million ($2.6M) equity contribution raised from industrial investor Vopak Ventures and the company’s current shareholders.

Aeromon, founded in 2014 and led by CEO Maria Kuosa, developed an Unmanned Aerial System assisted fugitive emission measurements for industrial customers - either mobile or mountable on a drone if needed - used for rapidly mapping different industrial emissions. Business cases include monitoring of situational awareness, visualised, real-time and actionable data on airborne emissions such as gaseous compounds, particulate matter and noise.

Aeromon’s services are used by companies throughout Europe to verify and quantify emissions from industrial plants. The Aeromon Emission Monitoring System consists of an UAV-mounted BH-12 sensor module with an active sampling system and a web based analysis platform, the Aeromon Cloud Service (ACS). When combined, Aeromon gives its industrial partners the ability to rapidly map on-site emissions in a flexible, accurate manner, delivering significant time savings, real time reporting capabilities and a scalable cloud data storage solution. By deploying sensors in static, hand-held and drone-mounted configurations, Aeromon uses its cloud-based service to fluidly analyse emissions patterns in any industrial setting - including those that previously proved difficult to access. This enables Aeromon clients to save more time and resources than ever before when managing the environmental effects of their operations, and to protect members of the public from potential unforeseen hazards.
