Albania Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides an inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Albania, featuring annual country-level data from 2015 and monthly source-level data from 2021. The dataset includes estimates for over 2.7 million sources globally, categorized by sub-sector and gas type. These records are maintained by the Climate TRACE coalition to provide an open and accessible inventory of global emission origins.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Albania's carbon footprint using annual sub-sector data
• Identifying localized emission hotspots using monthly source-level coordinates
• Assessing the reliability of climate models using the provided confidence metrics

Strengths

• Provides monthly source-level granularity from 2021
• Includes confidence scores for source-level emission estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and specific air pollutants
• Open CC-BY license for redistribution

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
• Source ownership data is missing for many assets
• Specific column headers and row counts are not defined in the metadata
