Faroe Islands Greenhouse Gas Emissions with Monthly Source-Level Data

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions data for the Faroe Islands, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory covers specific sub-sectors and gases, estimating emissions from individual assets and sources using modeled data. This dataset is part of a global effort to map 2.7 million emission sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in specific gas emissions using the monthly source-level data
• Identifying high-emitting sub-sectors within the Faroe Islands to inform local climate policy
• Assessing the reliability of emissions estimates using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Monthly granularity for source-level data since 2021
• Includes confidence scores for each modeled estimate
• Covers multiple greenhouse gases and air pollutants beyond CO2

Limitations

• Source-level temporal coverage is limited to post-2021
• Incomplete ownership data for many emission sources
• Emissions are estimated rather than directly measured at every source
