Intercomparison of detection and quantification methods for methane emissions from the natural gas distribution network in Hamburg, Germany

Abstract: Abstract. In August and September 2020, three different measurement methods for quantifying methane (CH4) emission from leaks in urban gas distribution networks were applied and compared in Hamburg, Germany: the “mobile”, “tracer release” and “suction” methods. The mobile and tracer release methods determine emission rates to the atmosphere from measurements of CH4 mole fractions in the ambient air, and the tracer release method also includes measurement of a gaseous tracer. The suction method determines emiss… Show more

“…Our aim for this study is to assess source strength estimation methods from street level measurements using DNS. The measurement strategy we are focusing on was first developed by Weller et al (2019) and has recently been used to detect and estimate fugitive methane emissions (Maazallahi et al, 2020(Maazallahi et al, , 2022. To the best of our knowledge, this estimation method has not yet been systematically tested for the influence of the atmospheric parameters on the plume variability and consequently the source estimations.…”

“…We therefore use DNS to simulate dispersion from multiple scalar sources in a MUST set-up. This study is inspired by the measurement campaign of city methane emissions conducted in Hamburg, Germany (Maazallahi et al, 2022). As a first step, we limit this study to dispersion under neutral atmospheric conditions and with the mean wind direction aligned with the street as we expect that the estimation method performs best for this geometry.…”
