EFFECTIVENESS ASSESSMENT: IMPORTANT DATA PROVIDER, EARLY-STAGE on waste impact. WasteMAP tracks 3,000+ methane plumes from disposal sites and provides city-level and site-level decision support tools. The platform is genuinely useful for identifying waste methane hotspots. Published a waste methane playbook for municipalities. But no evidence yet of WasteMAP data leading to actual emissions reductions at any specific site or city — it's a knowledge infrastructure, not yet an action infrastructure. The waste sector work is pre-impact: tools exist but adoption and action are the bottleneck.
