Introduction
EDGARv8.1 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 primarily based on IEA data (2022) World Energy Balances, (www.iea.org), all rights reserved, as modified by Joint Research Centre, European Commission, whereas the activity data for the agricultural sectors originate primarily from FAO (2022) (www.fao.org/faostat).
Novelties of EDGARv8.1 compared to the previous EDGARv6.1 release are:
- updates of all activity data up to 2022
- updates of technology penetration, abatement measures and emission factors for power plant emissions and residential emissions in Europe
- new spatial proxies as described in Crippa et al. (2024)
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 EDGARv8.1 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 (1970-2022)
For each substance, emission time series (1970-2022) by sector and country are provided in an overview table (.xls).
Notes: Emission country totals are expressed in kt substance/year. Note that OC emissions are expressed in kton C / month. The IPCC 1996 and 2006 codes are used for specification of the sectors.
Monthly time series (2000-2022)
For each substance, monthly emission time series (2000-2022) by sector and country are provided in an overview table (.xls).
Notes: Emission country totals are expressed in kt substance/year. Note that OC emissions are expressed in kton C / month. The IPCC 1996 and 2006 codes are used for specification of the sectors.
Annual gridmaps (1970-2022)
For each substance annual gridmaps (1970-2022) are provided.
Notes: Emission gridmaps are expressed in ton substance / 0.1degree x 0.1degree / year for the .txt and .nc files. Emission fluxes are expressed in kg substance /m2 /s for the .nc files. Note that OC emission and fluxes are expressed in amount of C.

Monthly sector-specific gridmaps (2000-2022)
Monthly emission gridmaps (2000-2022) are provided for all substances and sectors using the temporal distribution profiles described in Crippa et al. (2020).
- Power Industry - Power and heat generation plants (public & autoproducers)
- Industrial combustion - Combustion for industrial manufacturing
- Buildings - Small scale non-industrial stationary combustion
- Transport - Mobile combustion (road & rail & ship & aviation)
- Agriculture - Agricultural soils, crop residues burning, enteric fermentation, manure management, indirect N2O emissions from agriculture
- Fuel exploitation - Production, transformation and refining of fuels

- Waste - Solid waste disposal and waste water treatment
- Emissions: Mg/month gridmaps at 0.1x0.1degree resolution, .NetCDF file per year, substance and sector is produced including the emissions for the 12 months.
- Emission fluxes: kg/m2/s at 0.1x0.1degree resolution, .NetCDF file per year, substance and sector is produced including for each sector the emission fluxes for the 12 months.
- Note that OC emission and fluxes are expressed in amount of C.
