Cameroon: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions since 2015

Climate TRACE provides an inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Cameroon, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset categorizes emissions by sub-sector and gas type, derived from a global monitoring network of over 2.7 million sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Cameroon's greenhouse gas emissions using the annual sub-sector data from 2015
• Evaluating the reliability of specific emission points using the confidence metrics provided in monthly source-level records
• Identifying high-emission industries by filtering the sub-sector and gas type fields

Strengths

• Includes monthly source-level granularity starting from 2021
• Provides confidence metrics for individual emission estimates
• Covers a 10-year span of annual country-level data from 2015 to 2025

Limitations

• Ownership information for emission sources is incomplete and only provided where available
• Source-level data is unavailable for the period between 2015 and 2020
• The dataset relies on estimates rather than direct sensor measurements for all sources
