Abstract：In this study, microbial characteristics in urban drainage network were introduced, and the generation mechanism of greenhouse gases (GHGs) was analyzed, after summarizing the research status of GHGs in urban drainage networks at home and abroad. Furthermore, the physical and chemical methods (like Ferrate) of controlling CO2, CH4, and N2O were discussed, and finally, potential strategies for the emission reduction of GHGs in urban drainage networks were given. It is suggested that both natural chemical control (e.g., Urine) and resource utilization should be studied well to provide data and theoretical support for carbon emission reduction from urban drainage systems in future.
