DRC Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015 to 2026

Climate TRACE provides annual and monthly greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions data for the Democratic Republic of the Congo starting from 2015. The inventory tracks emissions by sub-sector and gas type, incorporating source-level data for specific assets and country-level aggregates. Estimates are generated by a non-profit coalition using data from over 2.7 million global sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing annual trends in DRC greenhouse gas emissions by sub-sector
• Mapping specific emission sources using monthly source-level geospatial data
• Evaluating the reliability of emission models using provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Annual country-level data spanning from 2015
• Monthly source-level granularity available from 2021
• Includes confidence scores for monthly emission estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and localized air pollutants

Limitations

• Specific column headers are not defined in the provided metadata
• Source ownership data is inconsistent and only provided where available
• Relies on modeled estimates rather than direct continuous sensor measurements for all assets
