Helping Epa Reduce Landfill Methane Emissions Erg Eastern Research Lmop has a recently renewed emphasis on helping to increase the national percentage of landfill methane that is captured and destroyed, as part of the november 2021 u.s. methane emissions reduction action plan. for more than 20 years, erg has served as the primary contractor providing technical, data, outreach, and communications support to. As one key approach to mitigating climate change, the u.s. environmental protection agency created a series of voluntary partnerships—the agstar program, landfill methane outreach program, and natural gas star methane challenge program—to help the agricultural, municipal solid waste, and oil and natural gas industries reduce their anthropogenic methane emissions.

Helping Epa Reduce Anthropogenic Methane Emissions Erg Easter Erg provides a full suite of services to support both voluntary and regulatory approaches to quantify and reduce ghg emissions. for example, we have helped the u.s. environmental protection agency design, implement, and grow programs such as the methane challenge, agstar, the landfill methane outreach program, and the greenhouse gas reporting program for more than 20 years. Using tropomi data in an inversion, we find that city level emissions are 1.4 to 2.6 times larger than reported in commonly used emission inventories and that the landfills contribute 6 to 50% of those emissions. our work demonstrates how complementary satellites enable global detection, identification, and monitoring of methane superemitters. To understand the impact food waste has on u.s. landfill greenhouse gas emissions, epa developed the report, quantifying methane emissions from landfilled food waste, to estimate the quantity of methane emissions released into the atmosphere from decaying food waste in municipal solid waste landfills in the united states from 1990 to 2020. this analysis relied on existing, widely used epa. The biden administration has begun to implement a 2016 rule on landfill methane, but it will only cut a small percentage of emissions. yet steep reductions in global methane emissions this decade.

The biden administration has begun to implement a 2016 rule on landfill methane, but it will only cut a small percentage of emissions. yet steep reductions in global methane emissions this decade. Consequently reducing methane emissions from landfills will significantly reduce global radiative forcing. the 112 nations that launched the global methane pledge (2021) at cop 26 agreed ‘to take voluntary actions to contribute to a collective effort to reduce global methane emissions at least 30 percent from 2020 levels by 2030’. Composting can divert organic waste from landfills, reduce landfill methane emissions, and recycle nutrients back to soils. however, the composting process is also a source of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions. researchers, regulators, and policy decision makers all rely on emissions estimates to develop local emissions inventories and weigh competing waste diversion options, yet.
