British Columbia Greenhouse Gas Emissions Archive, 1990-Present

Archived annual greenhouse gas emissions estimates for British Columbia published in previous years. The data includes emissions broken down by IPCC and Canadian economic sectors, along with related population and GDP figures. It is published by the Government of British Columbia and considered deprecated for current analysis.

Use Cases

• Analyzing historical trends in greenhouse gas emissions based on annual kilotonne estimates.
• Comparing emissions across IPCC sectors based on the breakdown provided.
• Correlating historical emissions with economic activity based on the included GDP data.
• Studying per capita emissions trends based on the combined emissions and population data.

Strengths

• Annual estimates published since 1990 provide a long-term time series.
• Emissions are broken down by both IPCC and Canadian economic sectors.
• Includes related economic and demographic data (GDP and population).

Limitations

• The data is explicitly deprecated and should not be used for current analyses.
• Row count and column-level documentation are unknown.
