Whole-Site Quantification of Methane Emissions from 65 German Biogas Plants Reveals Systematic Underestimation in Current Emission Inventories
With around 9600 biogas plants, Germany has the largest biogas sector in Europe, where methane (CH4) losses can substantially counterbalance the climate benefits of this renewable energy source. Nevertheless, comprehensive empirical data on CH4 emissions and loss rates across different plant sizes and configurations in...
