Landfill site in Terrebonne, Que. emitting methane at estimated rate of nearly 1.2 tonnes per hour
For the past two years, the remote sensing company GHGSat has been scouring the globe and pinpointing sites where methane gas generated by human activity is spewing into the atmosphere and contributing to climate change.
GHGSat said there is a 48-per-cent uncertainty range associated with the rate because of the complicating effects of wind. However, there is no ambiguity about where and when the methane was observed. The location, in the Montreal suburb of Terrebonne, Que., is operated by Complexe Enviro Connexions, part of Waste Connections Canada, a solid waste management company whose parent office is based in Texas.
GHGSat does not routinely publicize the exact locations of the methane releases it observes. That is information that the company normally provides to its paying customers and partners in government and industry.in Sharm el-Sheikh, Egypt, the company has said it will post one recent observation per day to highlight the pervasive problem of methane.
