The case for methane capture at hydropower dams

This paper seeks to understand the levels of awareness of methane and other GHG emissions across the hydropower community, to evaluate why methane capture and utilisation strategies have not yet been developed, and to what extent there is a case for methane capture and utilisation at hydropower dams. The study aims to determine awareness levels of GHG emissions from hydropower reservoirs among the global hydropower community, assess awareness levels of existing methods used to measure, monitor and mitigate GHG emissions and explore the enablers of methane mitigation strategies.
