CEADs: Energy-Related CO2 Emissions for 40 Emerging Economies

Forty emerging economies, accounting for 17.5% of global CO2 emissions and 12.9% of global GDP, are covered in this dataset. It provides emissions inventories for 47 economic sectors and 8 major energy categories, including biomass, from 2010 to 2019. For 28 of these economies, subnational-level emissions data is available.

Use Cases

• Analyzing sectoral decarbonization trends based on the 47 economic sectors.
• Comparing subnational emission patterns across the 28 countries with regional data.
• Modeling the impact of biomass energy use on national carbon budgets.
• Benchmarking emission intensities of emerging economies against global targets.

Strengths

• Provides standardized, transparent data for 40 countries with varied statistical capacities.
• Includes subnational-level detail for 28 economies, enabling regional analysis.
• Covers a significant time span (10 years) and explicitly includes emissions from biomass burning.

Limitations

• Metadata on exact column names, row counts, and file formats is unavailable from the provided sources.
• The dataset's last update date is not specified, which may affect perceived freshness.
• Coverage is limited to the period 2010-2019 and does not include more recent years.
