What's inside
A Glimpse of What You'll Find
The full report goes deeper, here's a preview of what's covered:
How models compare to reality
EPA inventory models showed near-zero correlation with measured values. See the site-by-site comparison.
Emission variability across sites
Rates ranged by more than 50x across the 60 sites monitored. Find out what's driving the spread.
Gas collection performance gaps
Operator-reported efficiencies diverged significantly from satellite measurements. Discover the discrepancy.
