Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions

EDGAR v4.3.2

Introduction

In EDGARv4.3.2 emissions are calculated for the three main greenhouse gases per sector and country. For the energy related sectors the activity data are mainly based on the energy balance statistics of IEA (2014) (link), whereas the activity data for the agricultural sectors originate mainly from FAO (2014). Additional information can be found in Janssens-Maenhout et al., (ESSD, 2017).
