Greenhouse Gas Emissions Review

The document identifies critical evidence gaps in the quantification and measurement of greenhouse gas emissions from both sewer-based and non-sewered sanitation systems, arguing for the integration of climate-smart solutions in infrastructure design to align sanitation goals with climate action.

• The review identifies significant evidence gaps in the literature regarding the quantification of emissions from non-sewered sanitation systems, specifically concerning composting toilets and biogas toilets.
• Current greenhouse gas accounting often overlooks critical contextual factors, including the operational status of infrastructure and environmental conditions.
• There is a lack of holistic greenhouse gas emission studies covering the full sanitation chain, and existing measurement methods are inconsistent.
