EDGAR v7.0 Greenhouse Gas Emissions

Collection: EDGAR : Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research 

Description

EDGARv7.0 provides estimates for emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) and fluorinated gases per sector and country.

CO2 emissions are provided separately for CO2_excl_short-cycle_org_C and CO2_short-cycle_org_C. Emissions of CO2_excl_short-cycle_org_C include all fossil CO2 sources, such as fossil fuel combustion, non-metallic mineral processes (e.g. cement production), metal (ferrous and non-ferrous) production processes, urea production, agricultural liming and solvents use. To harmonise global CO2 emission estimates, we incorporate IEA CO2 emissions from fossil fuel combustion sources (2021b), in the first joint IEA-EDGAR CO2 emission dataset. Large scale biomass burning with Savannah burning, forest fires, and sources and sinks from land-use, land-use change and forestry (LULUCF) are excluded. Preliminary estimates of wild fires and LULUCF emissions up to 2020 can be found at: https://edgar.jrc.ec.europa.eu/report_2022.

Emissions of fluorinated gases have been derived by multiple sources, most notably from country reporting where available. When not the case, activity data statistics have been derived by UNEP data, from scientific literature and expert judgment.

  • Abstract

    This report presents the fossil CO2 emission time series of the Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR) from 1970 until 2021, together with CO2 emissions and removals from land use and forestry for period 1990 to 2021.

    For the first time, the report uses IEA calculated fossil-fuel CO2 emissions directly where appropriate, rather than calculating them from the underlying energy use statistics, to ensure greater coherence with the IEA data. The report contributes to the Paris Agreement process with an independent and quantitative view of global emissions.
