Italy: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions by Sector since 2015

Climate TRACE provides annual country-level and monthly source-level greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Italy. The inventory tracks emissions by sub-sector and gas type starting from 2015 for national totals and 2021 for specific assets. The data is produced by a non-profit coalition to provide an open inventory of global emission sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Italian industrial emissions using monthly source-level data
• Comparing greenhouse gas contributions across different sub-sectors using annual country-level aggregates
• Assessing the reliability of emission reports using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes confidence scores for monthly source-level emissions
• Provides sub-sector granularity for both annual and monthly records
• Covers multiple gas types and air pollutants

Limitations

• Source-level data is limited to 2021 onwards
• Ownership information is inconsistent across all assets
• Emissions are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
