Alberta's First & Only Approved Software CEMS Replacement
ES-PEMS™ has achieved the gold standard in regulatory validation — approved by both the Alberta Energy Regulator (AER) and Alberta Environment and Protected Areas (AEP) as a legitimate replacement for physical continuous emissions monitoring systems.
What This Means
Full Regulatory Approval
Not a pilot. Not conditional. Full production approval for compliance reporting.
Official Compliance Data
Operators can submit ES-PEMS™ data as their official emissions compliance data to regulators. No asterisks, no supplementary hardware requirements.
Dual Regulator Approval
One approval on the energy side (AER), a second on the environmental side (AEP) — together they cover every mandate your emissions data has to answer to.
Production Status
ES-PEMS™ carries the same regulatory standing as physical CEMS hardware — cleared for full production use at industrial facilities today.
First in Canada
VL Energy is the first and currently the only company to achieve this level of regulatory approval for a software-based CEMS replacement in Canada.
AER Approval
The Alberta Energy Regulator oversees responsible energy development in Alberta. Their approval of ES-PEMS™ as a CEMS replacement means operators under AER jurisdiction can legally replace physical emissions monitoring hardware with VL Energy's software-based solution.
- Approved under AER regulatory framework for emissions monitoring
- Validated accuracy against physical CEMS reference data
- Applicable to oil & gas, power generation, and industrial facilities
- Ongoing compliance assurance through continuous model validation

AEP Validation
AEP focuses on environmental protection and ensuring industrial operations meet their environmental obligations. Their validation of ES-PEMS™ provides operators with confidence that their emissions data meets environmental compliance standards — not just energy regulatory requirements.
- Environmental compliance validation for emissions reporting
- Environmental sign-off that complements AER energy-side approval
- Supports EPEA approval conditions and environmental permits
- Aligned with provincial environmental monitoring standards
Our Approach
Working With Regulators
We manage the regulatory validation process on your behalf — from initial submission to ongoing compliance assurance.
01
Validation Protocol
We run side-by-side testing with physical reference data to demonstrate model accuracy meets regulatory requirements.
02
Regulatory Submission
Our team prepares and submits all documentation required by AER and AEP for PEMS approval at your specific facility.
03
Ongoing Assurance
Continuous model performance monitoring, periodic re-validation, and proactive regulator communication to maintain compliance status.
