Fig. 4: Global methane emissions under baseline and mitigation scenarios.

From: Potential for future reductions of global GHG and air pollutants from circular waste management systems

Fig. 4

a Municipal solid waste (MSW) in dumpsites, b Methane (CH4) emissions and c CH4 reduction potentials (negative values in y-axis in panel c refer to avoided emissions). Faster adoption of measures improving MSW systems will result in an early decrease of MSW ending up in dumpsites/uncontrolled landfills and therefore brings quicker reductions of future CH4 emissions from this source. Supplementary Information section 2 presents a detailed analysis of the mitigation (MFR) scenarios.
