Greenland Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions (2015-2026)

Greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions estimates for Greenland, produced by the Climate TRACE coalition. It features annual country-level data starting from 2015 and high-resolution monthly source-level data beginning in 2021. The inventory covers emissions by sub-sector and gas type, incorporating confidence metrics for asset-level observations.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Greenland's emissions using monthly source-level records
• Identifying high-emitting industries by filtering for specific sub-sector labels
• Assessing the reliability of climate models using the provided confidence metrics

Strengths

• Monthly source-level granularity available from 2021 onwards
• Includes specific confidence scores for emission estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and localized air pollutants

Limitations

• Specific column headers and schema are not explicitly defined in the metadata
• Ownership data is inconsistent and only provided when available
• Data consists of estimates rather than direct physical sensor measurements
