Global Cement Production CO2 Emissions with Source Data

Most countries worldwide have their process emissions from cement production tracked in this dataset, beginning in the earliest year of available source data. The data is associated with a research publication in Earth System Science Data and includes almost all source data used to produce the emissions estimates. It was authored by Robbie M. Andrew of the CICERO Center for International Climate Research.

Use Cases

• Model national and global carbon budgets based on process emissions from cement production.
• Analyze trends in industrial emissions over time based on the historical source data.
• Benchmark country-level cement production emissions for policy analysis.
• Validate or extend climate models using the provided source data.

Strengths

• Includes process emissions for most countries worldwide.
• Provides almost all source data used to generate the emissions estimates.
• Data is linked to a peer-reviewed publication in Earth System Science Data.

Limitations

• Row count and file formats are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
