1961–2019 data provides country-level estimates of methane (CH4) emissions from manure management, measured in kilotonnes. The dataset is produced by the FAOSTAT domain Emissions Totals, using IPCC Tier 1 methodology, and is updated annually.
Use Cases
- Model national CH4 emission trends over time using country and year fields.
- Analyze the contribution of manure management to total agricultural emissions using the CH4 emission estimates.
- Compare emission levels across different countries using the country-level data.
- Project future emissions for 2030 and 2050 based on historical trends from 1961-2019.
Strengths
- Covers a 58-year time range from 1961 to 2019.
- Provides global coverage with estimates available by country.
- Data is computed using standardized IPCC Tier 1 guidelines.
Limitations
- Specific row and column counts are unknown, limiting assessment of granularity.
- Projections for 2030 and 2050 are only available for some emission categories.
Provenance
- Source
- FAOSTAT Emissions Totals domain.

- Time Range
- 1961–2019, with projections for 2030 and 2050 for some categories.
