Evaluating California dairy methane emission factors using short-term ground-level and airborne measurements

Seyedmorteza Amini et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the methane emissions from California's dairy sector through field measurements and finds discrepancies between the emission factors used in the California Air Resources Board (CARB) inventory and the actual measurements. The results highlight the impact of meteorology on dairy emissions and suggest the need for facility-level data and mechanistic approaches in future emission inventory evaluations.

Hydrocarbon Tracers Suggest Methane Emissions from Fossil Sources Occur Predominately Before Gas Processing and That Petroleum Plays Are a Significant Source

Ariana L. Tribby et al.

Summary: We analyzed global airborne observations to estimate emissions from oil and gas operations. By updating the emissions configuration in a chemical transport model, we were able to simulate the global distribution of propane and ethane and compare it with observed data. We found that emissions in oil-producing basins are dominated by pre-processing activities.

Dairy Methane Emissions in California's San Joaquin Valley Inferred With Ground-Based Remote Sensing Observations in the Summer and Winter

Sajjan Heerah et al.

Summary: The dairy industry in the San Joaquin Valley is a major methane source in California. New ground-based measurements of CH4 gradients were conducted across 600 dairies in the region, revealing seasonal and temperature effects on emissions. Top-down estimates of dairy emissions were found to overlap with earlier studies and inventories, highlighting the need for ongoing monitoring to better understand and mitigate CH4 emissions.

Facility-scale inventory of dairy methane emissions in California: implications for mitigation

Alison R. Marklein et al.

Summary: This study developed a spatially explicit database of dairies in California, calculating CH4 emissions based on operating permits and California-specific reports, and estimated the impact of mitigation strategies. The results show that implementing digesters at existing or planned 106 dairies in California will significantly reduce CH4 emissions.
