IEA CO2 Emissions from Fuel Combustion with Electricity Reallocation, 1960-2021

International Energy Agency data tracks CO2 emissions after reallocating electricity and heat generation emissions to final consuming sectors. The dataset spans from 1960 to 2021 and is structured across four dimensions: flow, allocation, time, and country.

Use Cases

• Analyze emission trends by country over the 1960-2021 time dimension to assess decarbonization progress.
• Model the relationship between economic activity (flow) and reallocated emissions (allocation) for specific sectors.
• Compare national emission profiles using the country dimension after accounting for electricity trade.

Strengths

• Covers a long temporal range of over 60 years (1960-2021).
• Data is structured across four explicit analytical dimensions: flow, allocation, time, and country.
• Sourced from the authoritative International Energy Agency (IEA).

Limitations

• No row count, column details, or sample data are provided to assess dataset scale and granularity.
• The specific methodology for the reallocation of emissions (allocation dimension) is not described.
• File formats and data size are unknown, complicating download and integration planning.
