The measurement and evaluation of fugitive and point-source greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, in particular methane (CH4) emissions, from biological waste treatment plants (e.g. composting facilities, biodigesters) and landfills, are an important prerequisite to demonstrate compliance with requested limit values. Traditionally, small-scale methods (e.g. chamber technique, funnel or tunnel measurement) have been used in order to estimate methane emissions from e.g. landfills.
Unfortunately, the reliability of such methods is often arguable due to their spatial and temporal limitations. In recent years, numerous international studies have demonstrated the huge potential of micrometeorological methods using path-integrated gas concentration information down wind(e.g. open-path tunable diode laser spectroscopy - OP-TDLS). Fugitive and temporary emissions over a long time periods can be quantified by using meteorological data of the site and an adequate dispersion model. The main objective of this paper is to demonstrate the potential of a micrometeorological method (OP-TDLS) using downwind concentration and meteorological measurements (ultrasonic anemometer)as well as a dispersion model (LASAT) by means of three different case studies. The first case study 'KLIMONEFF†aimed to create a representative data pool and to simultaneously develop a simply applicable monitoring and quantification tool for emission control and Quality management of biogas plants.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
