During 2017, researchers from IHA undertook a study of 498 reservoirs worldwide using the G-res Tool. Res.

The IHA study confirms the majority of hydropower reservoirs studied are producing very low-carbon power; although some reservoirs in every climate category can potentially have high emissions exceeding 100 gCO2-eq/kWh (defined by the Climate Bonds Initiative to be an important threshold).

A., Richey, J. E. and Harriss, R. C.: 1990, ‘Methane Flux from the Amazon River Floodplain: Emissions During Rising Water’, J. Geophys. The methane dissolved in the water is held in solution by the high pressure of all the water above it. Hydroelectric dams mostly have comparable GHG emissions to solar and wind energy. A major source of emission is the carbon released from above-water decay of the trees that are killed by flooding.
There has been a lack of scientific consensus on how to quantify this footprint, and this uncertainty has proved a significant obstacle for policy and decision makers concerning the financing of hydropower projects and whether they achieve the designation of being climate-friendly. Impact of dams on climate change has been underestimated, researchers warn, as rotting vegetation creates 25% more methane than previously thought, Last modified on Wed 14 Feb 2018 12.55 EST. 14, 115–168. The greenhouse gas footprint of hydropower has long been questioned in both scientific and policy spheres, especially with regard to emissions caused by the creation of a reservoir. It should also be noted that hydropower facilities equipped with reservoir storage provide many other valuable power and water benefits. Rosa, L. P., dos Santos, M. A., Tundisi, J. G. and Sikar, B. M.: 1997a, ‘Measurements of Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Samuel, Tucuruí and Balbina Dams’, in L. P. Rosa and M. A. dos Santos (eds. For a comparison with the median values of other electricity sources, see figure 1. There is some question, however, about whether hydroelectric dams do in fact reduce greenhouse emissions. Temperature is one of the variables that has, in theory, a significant effect on reservoir emissions.

The G-res Tool was formally launched, after more than a decade of development work, at the World Hydropower Congress in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, in May 2017.

Existing hydroelectric dams in Brazilian Amazonia emitted about 0.26 million tons of methane and 38 million tons of carbon dioxide in 1990. Cycles
