Executive Abstract
Quantifying and reducing fugitive methane emissions from agricultural and industrial biogas facilities across Europe and North America.
💡 Key Takeaways & Recommendations
Minimizing fugitive emissions is essential for securing the climate benefits of biomethane. Field measurements across 120 digesters highlight operational protocols that consistently reduce methane slip below 0.5% of total plant throughput.
