Reservoirs emit significant amounts of greenhouse gases. An analysis of data from 85 globally distributed hydroelectric reservoirs indicates that about 48 Tg carbon is emitted as carbon dioxide and 3 Tg carbon as methane, and that carbon emissions are correlated with reservoir age and latitude.
Hydroelectric reservoirs cover an area of 3.4×10
