Quantifying greenhouse gas emissions from waste treatment facilities
Methane is a greenhouse gas (GHG) and the anthropogenic emission of methane to the atmosphere contributes to global warming. There are several anthropogenic methane sources, and the quantification of methane from these emission sources are often based on emission factors and model calculations making reporting uncertain. Reducing the methane emission is an effective way of reducing the overall greenhouse gas emission. Methane reductions can often be difficult to quantify and document, as accurate measurements methods are lacking and not commercial available.
