Introduction
EDGARv6.1 provides emissions not only for the greenhouse gases per sector and country but also for the air pollutants:
- Ozone precursor gases: Carbon Monoxide (CO), Nitrogen Oxides (NOx), Non-Methane Volatile Organic Compounds (NMVOC) and Methane (CH4)
- Acidifying gases: Ammonia (NH3), Nitrogen oxides (NOx) and Sulfur Dioxide (SO2)
- Primary particulates: Fine Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5) and Carbonaceous speciation (BC, OC)
Emissions from large scale biomass burning with Savannah burning, forest fires, and sources and sinks from land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) are excluded.
For the energy related sectors the activity data are mainly based on the energy balance statistics of IEA (2019) (Internet: link), whereas the activity data for the agricultural sectors originate mainly from FAO (2020) (Internet: link).
Novelties of EDGARv6.1 compared to the previous EDGARv5.0 release are:
- updates of all activity data up to 2018
- new international shipping proxies and monthly profiles (Jalkanen et al. (2012), Johansson et al. (2017))
- updates of road transport technology penetration and emission factors (Muntean et al., in prep, 2022) for combustion and evaporative emissions
- inclusion of NMVOC emissions from agricultural soils
Conditions of emission data use and code of conduct
Users of the data are obliged to acknowledge the source of the data with a reference to the EDGARv6.1 air pollutant website (link).
Co-authorship and involvement of the EDGAR Team in the emission data analysis is highly appreciated. User's comments and requests can be sent via email to the authors.
Time series 1970-2018
For each substance, emission time series (1970-2018) by sector and country are provided in an overview table (.xls).
Notes: Emission country totals are expressed in kt substance/year. The IPCC 1996 and 2006 codes are used for specification of the sectors.
Monthly time series 2000-2018
For each substance, monthly emission time series (2000-2018) by sector and country are provided in an overview table (.xls).
Notes: Emission country totals are expressed in kt substance/year. The IPCC 1996 and 2006 codes are used for specification of the sectors.
Annual gridmaps 1970-2018
Annual (and monthly) sector-specific gridmaps
Annual sector-specific gridmaps (1970-2018) [and monthly sector-specific gridmaps (2018)]
Notes: Emission gridmaps are expressed in t substance/0.1degreex0.1degree/year for annual .txt files and in kg substance/m2/s for all the .nc files. The IPCC 1996 and 2006 codes are used for specification of the sectors.
