Reference | Inventory | Quantitya (g CO2 m−3) | Global Warming Impactb (g CO2 m−3) | Data Source |
---|---|---|---|---|
[16] | CH4 | 11.36 | 284 | Measurement |
N2O | 1.83 | 546 | ||
[18] | CH4 | 2.40 | 60 | Simulation |
N2O | 0.81 | 240 | ||
[20] | CH4 | 2.384 | 59.6 | Simulation |
N2O | 0.479 | 142.6 |
The quantity values refer to the wastewater flow rate.
Global warming potential: 25 kg CO2 per kg CH4 for CH4 and 298 kg CO2 per kg N2O for N2O.
