Large amounts of organic matter are removed during treatment processes to meet environmental standards, and as a result, significant amounts of GHGs such as methane are released into the atmosphere. They found that the amount of methane released from the treatment of recalcitrant organic matters in 2018 could have been as high as 38.22
