flag Many nations underreport wastewater methane emissions due to outdated methods, new research shows.

flag Many countries are underreporting wastewater greenhouse gas emissions, especially methane, due to outdated accounting methods and incomplete data, leading to a significant gap between actual and reported emissions. flag Updated research shows emissions could be tens of percent higher when modern techniques and direct measurements are used, particularly for decentralized, informal, and leaky systems. flag Experts urge nations to adopt newer IPCC guidelines, expand monitoring, and include all wastewater sources to improve climate planning and unlock cost-effective reductions through technologies like biogas capture.
