India: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015 to 2026

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for India, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory tracks emissions by sub-sector and gas type across a global network of over 2.7 million sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in India's greenhouse gas emissions using the monthly source-level data starting from 2021
• Comparing emission contributions across different sub-sectors and gas types to identify high-intensity industries
• Evaluating the reliability of specific emission points using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Provides monthly source-level granularity starting from 2021
• Includes confidence scores for each emission estimate
• Covers both annual country-level and monthly source-level timeframes

Limitations

• Emissions are derived from estimates rather than direct physical sensor readings
• Source ownership information is only provided intermittently
