Increased emissions of methane (CH4) have contributed 0.3–0.8°C to global temperature rise since preindustrial times. Reducing these emissions is crucial to mitigate climate change. Measurements of the isotopic composition of CH4 (δ13C and δ2H) can be used to distinguish various sources of CH4. This study reports continuous measurements of CH4, δ13C and δ2H for 8 months in Cluj‐Napoca, Romania. An automate dextraction and a purification system, coupled to an isotope ratio mass spectrometer alternately measured δ13Cand δ2H of CH4 with 20‐min time resolution at the campus of the Babeş‐Bolyai University. In addition, point source samples were measured to isotopically characterize CH4 sources in the region. The time series show regular CH4 elevations during the night, occasionally superimposed on multiday events. From these elevations, we identified three main CH4 emission categories: Transylvanian biogenic gas (75%); biogenic emissions from rivers and wastewater (38%), predominantly observed during the summer; and a third source emitting 13C‐enriched CH4 in winter, likely of pyrogenic origin (5%). We simulated the CH4 mole fraction at the measurement site using Lagrangian footprints generated from the FLEXPART‐COSMO model convolved with emissions from the TNO‐CoCO2 inventory. The simulations show that the emission inventory is not granular enough to represent the city center. The strong underestimation in winter suggests that the emission inventory did not include the pyrogenic winter source. When the model accurately estimated the CH4 mole fraction, it also predicted the isotopic compositions well.
