Iceland Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions since 2015

Climate TRACE provides annual country-level greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Iceland starting in 2015, alongside monthly source-level data beginning in 2021. The inventory details emissions by sub-sector and gas type, incorporating confidence scores for granular estimates.

Use Cases

• Analyzing seasonal fluctuations in Iceland's carbon output using monthly source-level emissions and gas type data
• Filtering high-uncertainty data points using the provided confidence scores for source-level estimates
• Attributing industrial pollution to specific entities using the emissions source ownership and sub-sector fields

Strengths

• Monthly granularity for source-level data since 2021
• Includes confidence scores for every source-level estimate
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants across multiple sub-sectors

Limitations

• Temporal gap between country-level (2015) and source-level (2021) data
• Incomplete ownership metadata for many emission sources
