The training was tailored to Mexico's municipal wastewater sector, and focused on methane capture and use technologies that are applicable to Mexico. Presenters from Mexico and the United States reported on:
- Mexico's wastewater sector: Baseline methane emissions and reduction-potential scenarios;
