FAOSTAT data estimates carbon dioxide emissions from on-farm energy use in kilotonnes. Estimates provide global country-level coverage from 1961 to 2019, with projections for 2030 and 2050 for some categories. The Country Climate and Development Report (CCDR) organization disseminates this data, which is updated annually.
Use Cases
- Analyze trends in on-farm energy-related CO2 emissions by country over the 1961-2019 time series.
- Model future emission scenarios using the provided 2030 and 2050 projections for specific categories.
- Compare national contributions to agricultural CO2 emissions using the kilotonne estimates.
- Calculate aggregate emissions in CO2eq using the IPCC AR5 global warming potentials referenced in the methodology.
Strengths
- Provides a 58-year time series from 1961 to 2019.
- Offers global country-level coverage for comparative analysis.
- Includes future projections for 2030 and 2050 for certain emission categories.
Limitations
- Data is computed at IPCC Tier 1, a less detailed methodological level.
- Time range varies; some categories only cover 1990-2019 instead of the full 1961 span.
- Specific sample size, row count, and column details are unavailable.
