Burkina Faso Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Annual and Monthly Source-Level Data

Climate TRACE provides annual country-level and monthly source-level greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Burkina Faso. The inventory tracks annual sub-sector emissions starting from 2015 and granular monthly source-level data from 2021. Estimates are derived from a global coalition of organizations using remote sensing and other primary data sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Burkina Faso's greenhouse gas output using annual sub-sector data from 2015
• Identifying high-emission geographic hotspots using monthly source-level geospatial records
• Evaluating the reliability of climate models using the provided confidence scores for specific gas types

Strengths

• Provides monthly granularity for source-level emissions from 2021
• Includes confidence scores for every source-level estimate
• Covers over 2.7 million sources globally within the Climate TRACE framework

Limitations

• Source ownership information is inconsistent and subject to availability
• Emissions are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
