Greenhouse gas emissions from waste sectors in China during 2006-2019: Implications for carbon mitigation

Rongxing Bian et al.

Summary: The emission pattern of greenhouse gases (GHG) from the waste sector in China's cities and counties is unclear, hindering the development of effective GHG reduction strategies. This study examines the GHG emissions from China's waste sector from 2006 to 2019 and finds that total emissions have increased significantly, with landfills being the main source. Incineration of municipal solid waste has also seen a rapid increase in emissions. The Eastern China region contributes the most to GHG emissions, indicating significant mitigation potential in the waste disposal sector.

Zichong Chen et al.

Summary: Through inverse analysis of 2019 TROPOMI satellite observations, we quantified methane emissions in China and contributions from different sectors, providing a more accurate estimate compared to previous studies. Our findings indicate upward corrections to emission estimates from oil, gas, livestock, waste, and rice paddies, which are higher than what was reported by China to the UNFCCC.

The Facility Level and Area Methane Emissions inventory for the Greater Toronto Area (FLAME-GTA)

Nasrin Mostafavi Pak et al.

Summary: The study presents the Facility Level and Area Methane (CH4) Emissions inventory for the Greater Toronto Area (FLAME-GTA), estimating total emissions of CH4 to be about 86 ± 38 Gg/yr. Using a Lagrangian transport model, atmospheric mixing ratios based on different emission inventories are predicted and compared with in situ measurements. Results indicate the need for a more extensive measurement network and an improved atmospheric transport modeling effort for further evaluation of emission inventories.

Seasonal Variations of CH4 Emissions in the Yangtze River Delta Region of China Are Driven by Agricultural Activities

Wenjing Huang et al.

Summary: Developed regions are major sources of atmospheric methane, with the Yangtze River Delta in China being densely populated and having significant anthropogenic and natural methane sources. Agricultural soils, particularly rice production, drove seasonal variability in methane emissions in 2018, while natural emissions accounted for around 10%-10.1% of total emissions in the region. AGS was the dominant factor for seasonal variations in atmospheric methane concentration, contributing significantly more than natural sources, especially in summer.

K. A. Spokas et al.

Summary: The current IPCC landfill methane methodology does not consider critical factors influencing emissions, while the CALMIM model incorporates site-specific climate, cover soils, engineered biogas recovery, and other strategies to estimate the effects of gas transport and oxidation on any cover soil at any global location. The CALMIM model overpredicted 30 surface CH4 emission measurements and underpredicted 13, suggesting the need for further refinement for accurate predictions.

Sensitivity to the sources of uncertainties in the modeling of atmospheric CO2 concentration within and in the vicinity of Paris

Jinghui Lian et al.

Summary: The study revealed limitations of the top-down atmospheric inversion method in quantifying CO2 emissions from cities, with significant nighttime model-data misfits identified particularly in the Paris area. Uncertainties in the diurnal profile of anthropogenic emissions and errors in vertical mixing near the surface in the WRF-Chem model were highlighted as critical sources of errors. Additionally, differences in simulated CO2 induced by different boundary conditions were shown to be as much as 5 ppm, suggesting the need for improved modeling approaches to enhance accuracy in CO2 emission estimates.

A comparative study of anthropogenic CH4 emissions over China based on the ensembles of bottom-up inventories

Xiaohui Lin et al.

Summary: Atmospheric methane is strongly influenced by human activities, with China contributing significantly to global anthropogenic emissions. Emissions from China varied widely among inventories, with the energy sector being the largest contributor. Emissions stabilized in the 1990s but increased significantly afterwards, and then became relatively stable from 2015 to 2019. Differences in emissions hotspot identification and incomplete information pose challenges to mitigation efforts for methane emission reductions.
