Congo Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Source-Level Monthly Data from 2021

Delivering greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emission estimates for Congo, produced by the Climate TRACE coalition. It contains annual country-level data categorized by sub-sector and gas type starting in 2015, alongside monthly source-level observations beginning in 2021. The inventory covers specific emission sources and includes confidence metrics for granular data points.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Congo's GHG emissions using the annual sub-sector and gas type fields
• Identifying high-emission geographic hotspots using monthly source-level data
• Evaluating the reliability of specific emission reports using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes monthly source-level granularity from 2021 onwards
• Provides confidence scores for all source-level emission estimates
• Covers multiple gas types and sub-sectors over a 10-year period

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct physical measurements
• Inconsistent availability of asset ownership information
