Bouvet Island Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sub-Sector and Gas (2015-2026)

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Bouvet Island, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory covers specific sub-sectors and gas types derived from a global model of 2.7 million emission sources. This data was produced by the Climate TRACE coalition and updated in early 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing annual greenhouse gas trends by sub-sector for remote territories
• Evaluating monthly air pollutant fluctuations using source-level estimates
• Assessing the reliability of climate models using provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Provides confidence scores for monthly source-level estimates
• Granular sub-sector and gas-specific breakdowns
• Dual temporal resolution with both annual and monthly records

Limitations

• Bouvet Island is an uninhabited sub-Antarctic territory, likely resulting in extremely sparse data points or focus on maritime/research activities only
• Emissions are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
