Belgium: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides annual country-level and monthly source-level greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Belgium starting from 2015 and 2021 respectively. The data covers multiple sub-sectors and specific gases, derived from a global inventory of over 2.7 million sources. This inventory was developed by the Climate TRACE coalition to provide an open and accessible record of global emission origins.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Belgium's greenhouse gas emissions using monthly source-level data
• Comparing emissions across different industrial sub-sectors and gas types
• Assessing the reliability of emission estimates using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes monthly source-level granularity from 2021
• Covers both annual country-level and monthly source-level data
• Provides confidence scores for monthly source-level estimates

Limitations

• Specific column names and schema are not provided in the metadata
• Source ownership data is incomplete
• Emissions are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
