This dataset is a first version of the CH4 mole fraction measured near CH4 sources, using ground mobile platforms, within the Horizon Europe project IM4CA (grant ID 101183460; see https://im4ca.eu/). The campaign was held in June 2026 in Romania and was focused mostly on emissions from the oil and gas sector, with additional measurements made on landfills and wastewater treatment plants (see https://im4ca.eu/romanian-campaign-2026/). The datasets contain CH4 mole fraction, coordinates and wind data, intended as input for further quantification of CH4 emissions using e.g. Gaussian Plume Modelling, OTM33a or Tracer Release Method approaches.

A final version of this dataset with implemented additional quality checks and more spatiotemporal cover is expected to be published in 2027.
