Australia Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Australia's greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions are tracked in this Climate TRACE inventory, featuring annual country-level records since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The data estimates emissions across various sub-sectors and gas types for specific assets, including confidence metrics for source-level observations.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in specific gas types like CO2 or methane across Australian sub-sectors
• Mapping high-emission assets using source-level geospatial data
• Evaluating the reliability of emission estimates using the confidence column

Strengths

• Monthly granularity for source-level emissions since 2021
• Includes confidence scores for source-level estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants across multiple sub-sectors

Limitations

• Source-level ownership data is missing for many records
• Data consists of estimates derived from asset monitoring rather than direct sensor readings
