Article Synopsis
- The study uses mobile in situ atmospheric concentration measurements to estimate methane emissions from urban waste treatment facilities in Southern Ontario, Canada, focusing on high-resolution improvements to existing methane inventories in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).
- Over seven years, researchers collected extensive mobile survey data from multiple types of waste facilities, representing 77% of active landfills in Southern Ontario, revealing that emissions from closed landfills are significantly lower than previously estimated.
- The updated methane emissions data led to a 54% reduction in solid waste emissions estimates and a 35% overall decrease in anthropogenic methane emissions in the GTA, highlighting discrepancies between inventories and actual measured emissions.
