France Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Annual and Monthly Source-Level Data

Climate TRACE provides an inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for France, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset covers emissions by sub-sector and gas type, including ownership information where available for specific assets. It is produced by a non-profit coalition using multi-source estimation techniques.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in industrial emissions using monthly source-level data
• Comparing greenhouse gas contributions across different sub-sectors for national policy planning
• Identifying high-emission assets and their associated owners for corporate accountability

Strengths

• Monthly granularity for source-level emissions starting in 2021
• Includes sub-sector and gas-specific breakdowns
• Provides confidence scores for source-level estimates

Limitations

• Emissions are based on estimates rather than direct measurements
• Ownership data is missing for some assets
• Specific row count for the France subset is not provided
