Huang and Fooladi (2021) found that anaerobic digestion technologies generated 45.2% and 41.9% more electricity than landfill gas technologies in Tehran and Beijing, respectively, over 20 years.
“They found that the technologies generated 45.2% and 41.9% more electricity than landfill gas technologies in Tehran and Beijing, respectively, and that anaerobic digestion had the most substantial potential to mitigate global warming (Caiardi et al. 2022).”
From Recycling municipal, agricultural and industrial waste into energy, fertilizers, food and construction materials, and economic feasibility: a review (2023) · cites this paper as Caiardi et al. 2022
The Introduction and climate-change discussion describe electricity generation and greenhouse-gas impacts from anaerobic digestion, but neither reports a Tehran–Beijing comparison with landfill gas. Searches for the 45.2% and 41.9% figures and for Huang and Fooladi found no passage supporting those figures or the claim that anaerobic digestion had the greatest global-warming mitigation potential.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
