Ethiopia Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Ethiopia, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory tracks emissions across specific sub-sectors and gas types, incorporating confidence scores for source-level estimates. Data is produced by a non-profit coalition using a global inventory of over 744 million assets.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Ethiopia's greenhouse gas emissions using the monthly source-level data
• Comparing emission contributions across different industrial sub-sectors and specific gas types
• Assessing the reliability of emission reports by filtering records based on the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes confidence scores for all monthly source-level estimates
• Provides sub-sector and gas-specific granularity dating back to 2015
• Covers both country-level aggregates and individual source-level points

Limitations

• Data consists of estimates derived from models rather than direct sensor-based physical measurements
• Source ownership attribution is inconsistent across the dataset
