Fugitive methane emissions, which occur due to leaks, flaring, or venting of methane gas in a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) aren't included in the 2006 IPCC National GHG inventory. This project opens a discussion into the potential presence of fugitive methane emissions in a wastewater treatment plant to allow for appropriate mitigation measures and ultimately adoption of best practices in the field to help reduce global GHG emissions from WWTPs.
