Comparison of Landfill Methane Emission Quantification Using Multiple Observation Methods.

ABSTRACT: Quantifying facility-level methane (CH₄) emissions is an important task for measuring progress toward net zero and carbon emission reduction targets. Landfills are a significant source of anthropogenic CH₄ emissions in Canada. Quantifying Canadian landfill emissions is also critical for validating assumptions in bottom-up inventory calculations but is a challenging task because of their variability in emissions sources and complex topography on and near landfill sites. We compare CH₄ emissions estimates for seven different emissions quantification strategies and platforms at a large landfill in Southern Ontario, Canada. We compare ground-based, aircraft-based, and satellite-based remote sensing techniques in addition to ground-based stationary, mobile, and
