Burundi Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides an inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Burundi, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset tracks emissions across specific sub-sectors and gas types, derived from a global monitoring network of over 2.7 million sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Burundi's national emissions using annual sub-sector data
• Identifying high-emission hotspots using monthly source-level geospatial coordinates
• Evaluating the reliability of climate models using the provided confidence levels for specific gas types

Strengths

• Provides monthly granularity for source-level emissions since 2021
• Includes confidence levels for monthly source-level estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and localized air pollutants

Limitations

• Emissions are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
• Source ownership information is inconsistent across the dataset
