Ghana Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Ghana, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory covers specific sub-sectors and gas types, including confidence metrics for source-level observations. The data is maintained by the Climate TRACE non-profit coalition.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Ghana's greenhouse gas emissions using the monthly source-level data from 2021
• Comparing emission contributions across different sub-sectors and gas types
• Evaluating the reliability of emission estimates using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes source-level confidence scores
• Covers both annual country-level and monthly source-level granularity
• Categorized by specific sub-sectors and gas types

Limitations

• Emissions are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
• Source ownership information is incomplete and subject to availability
• Temporal coverage for source-level data is shorter than country-level data
