Emission intensity of biogas flaring. Published by the Government of Canada and retrieved from table 6.2 from the PDF file at the source URL. Data quality flag - Methodology: This emission factor is reported as "not estimated" in Canada’s National Inventory Report. However, the source applies the same emission factor value used for combustion of biogas for energy to biogas flaring.
