Brazil Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Monthly Source-Level Data from 2015

Climate TRACE provides this inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Brazil, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset tracks emissions across various sub-sectors and gases, derived from a global monitoring network of over 2.7 million sources. It includes specific asset-level estimates and confidence scores for recent monthly records.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Brazil's carbon footprint using the monthly source-level emissions data
• Identifying high-emission industrial clusters by mapping the sub-sector and gas type fields
• Validating corporate climate pledges using the emissions source ownership information

Strengths

• Source-level granularity for individual assets within Brazil
• Includes confidence scores for monthly source-level estimates
• Dual-temporal resolution with annual and monthly reporting

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct physical meter readings
• Inconsistent availability of asset ownership data
