Description

Emission information is critical for uses in climate, air quality, and policy. There are several emission species with different priorities for different stakeholders.

High Need

  • CO2 - Carbon dioxide
  • NOx - Nitrogen oxides
  • SOx - Sulphur oxides
  • PM - Particulate matter

Full Emission List

  • CH4 - Methane
  • CO - Carbon Monoxide
  • N2O - Nitrous oxide
  • PFCs - Perfluorocarbons
  • CO - Carbon monoxide
  • SF6 - Sulphur hexafluoride
  • Hg - Mercury
  • O3 - Ozone

Possible Steps to Acquisition

  1. Compile map of data source -> { countries, emission species }
  2. ETL

Possible Data Sources

  • E-PRTR -- EU + ISL, LIE, NOR, SRB, CHE

  • eGRID -- USA (1996-2016)

  • NGER -- AUS (2012-2016)

  • GPED -- Global emission database tied to WEPP plants

Challenges

CO2 equivalent vs CO2

CO2e is commonly reported, and there are various accounting methods in use.

Estimated vs Measured Emissions

Time scales of accounting
