Green Energy Live looks to provide methane and propane gas accumulation testing equipment for gas pipeline maintenance services. In addition to producing methane from proprietary accumulation systems, GELV is also interested in providing monitoring and preventative testing equipment to natural gas companies charged with maintaining the aging pipelines crisscrossing millions of neighborhoods in America.

With America's infrastructure in need of repair, the natural gas pipelines that bring clean energy to industry, commercial and residential needs are leaking gas unknowingly to those customers and innocent bystanders that an accumulation of gas can be triggered by any static shock and erupt into a fireball of flames.

Green Energy Live recognizes the future growth industry in natural gas pipeline monitoring and testing across the country and is developing innovative technology solutions that will position Green Energy in lucrative untapped markets and increase shareholder value.

San Bruno fire levels neighborhood - Gas Explosion

'With a thunderous roar heard for miles, a natural gas line explosion ripped through a San Bruno neighborhood Thursday evening, sending up a geyser of fire that killed at least one person and injured more than 20 others, and igniting a blaze that destroyed 53 homes and damaged 120 more, authorities said.

The wind-whipped blaze leaped from structure to structure in the neighborhood near Skyline Boulevard and Sneath Lane, west of Interstate 280, raging unabated for almost an hour as emergency crews rushed in and residents streamed out.

The central ball of fire, fed by the Pacific Gas and Electric Co. gas line, raged past nightfall before abating. By then, houses on several blocks and thick stands of trees were engulfed in flames.

There is increasing legislation and regulatory pressures in the USA to improve the safety and integrity of pipelines carrying hydrocarbons. In the USA, there are 3,476,000 Km of pipelines carrying hydrocarbons. The disaster that occurred was not an isolated accidental incident. This was a wake up call to the American people that our infrastructure is in dire need of maintenance and repair, including, and with most severe consequences, the natural gas lines that run through our nation's communities and neighborhoods. In California, where earth quakes wiggle and jerk hundreds of thousands of pipelines, Natural gas leaked out of a Pacific Gas & Electric (PG&E) pipeline in San Bruno, CA, exploding homes and killing an unknown number.

This was an all American neighborhood and could have been anywhere in the USA.

The buried Natural Gas infrastructure is beginning to age and helicopters are capable of flying low enough, quiet enough and able to follow GPS maps of the gas companies known gas lines. With the focus of creating a map of Natural Gas concentration, monitoring where rogue concentrations occurred would be paramount to any maintenance and trouble shooting activities that need to be implemented. Identifying any unacceptable levels of pathogens or target gas leaks will require a regular monitoring of the air quality and precise analysis of the air samples.
