Costa Rica: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions data for Costa Rica, featuring annual country-level records since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory covers specific sub-sectors and gas types derived from a global model of over 744 million assets. This data is maintained by the Climate TRACE coalition and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Costa Rican greenhouse gas emissions using the annual country-level data
• Identifying high-emission hotspots using the monthly source-level sub-sector data
• Evaluating the reliability of specific emission estimates using the confidence field

Strengths

• Includes monthly source-level granularity since 2021
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants
• Provides sub-sector categorization for all emissions

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
• Source-level ownership data is inconsistent and only provided where available
