Germany Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Monthly Source-Level Data Since 2021

Climate TRACE provides annual country-level and monthly source-level greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Germany. The inventory tracks emissions by sub-sector and gas type, covering annual data from 2015 and monthly asset-level data from 2021. It includes ownership information and confidence scores for specific emission sources.

Use Cases

• Tracking monthly emission trends by sub-sector to identify seasonal industrial peaks
• Attributing emissions to specific corporate entities using the ownership field
• Evaluating country-level gas-specific trends (e.g., CH4, CO2) against 2015 baselines

Strengths

• Monthly granularity for source-level emissions starting in 2021
• Includes asset ownership data for specific emission sources
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants across multiple sub-sectors

Limitations

• Source-level data is limited to a shorter time frame starting in 2021
• Ownership information is incomplete for some assets
• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct sensor measurements for all assets
