Yes. Infrared are currently considered to be the best option to detect gas leaks. They use the absorption of infrared radiation at certain wavelengths to detect dangerous levels of toxic and combustible gases.
I believe infrared detectors measure heat being given off by an object. However since everything gives off heat.. the detectors have to be cooled down to very low temperatures themselves using liquid helium croyogen. Emma D
Instruments for detecting infrared radiation include heat-sensitive devices such as thermocouple detectors, bolometers, photovoltaic cells, and photoconductors.Pranay karnatak

An infrared detector needs a power source to operate and it is used to active a relay that can be used as a switch.

Infrared gas detectors are essential to your next home improvement or remodeling project. This technology is a reliable way to detect explosive and even lower levels of gas in your home and could prove essential in saving your home from a gas leak. Infrared gas detection is based upon the ability of some gases to absorb IR radiation. With the advanced designs currently employed in this technology, infrared gas detectors require no routine calibration and are basically maintenance free. They also have a fail-to-safe operation, making them a valuable asset to your home remodel.
