Industrial Process CO2 Emissions by Country 1990-2018

World Resource Institute's Climate Watch provides greenhouse gas emissions data for the Industrial Processes sector across 194 countries and the European Union. The dataset covers emissions from 1990 to 2018, including six major GHGs converted to CO2 equivalents. It is compiled from sources including the OECD/IEA and FAO, with citations required for specific indicator use.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in industrial_process_emissions by country and year to assess policy effectiveness.
• Model the relationship between economic indicators and sectoral CO2_equivalent emissions for forecasting.
• Compare emissions from non_CO2_greenhouse_gases across countries using global warming potential conversions.
• Benchmark a country's industrial emissions trajectory against regional or global averages over the 1990-2018 period.

Strengths

• Covers 194 countries and the European Union, providing broad geographic scope.
• Includes a 29-year time series from 1990 to 2018 for longitudinal analysis.
• Reports emissions for six major greenhouse gases, standardized to CO2 equivalents.

Limitations

• Data ends in 2018, creating a significant temporal gap for current analysis.
• Specific row count, column details, and sample data are unavailable for assessing granularity.
• Emissions data is derived from multiple sources, which may introduce methodological inconsistencies.
