Kenya Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions since 2015

Climate TRACE provides this inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Kenya, covering annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset tracks emissions across various sub-sectors and includes confidence metrics for estimates derived from satellite and sensor data. It identifies specific emission sources and provides ownership information where available.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Kenya's greenhouse gas emissions using the annual sub-sector data
• Identifying high-emission hotspots using the monthly source-level geospatial data
• Evaluating the reliability of emission estimates using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes confidence scores for source-level estimates
• Provides sub-sector granularity for both annual and monthly timeframes
• CC-BY license allows for open redistribution and use

Limitations

• Source-level data is only available from 2021 onwards
• Ownership information is not available for all assets
• Specific column names and row counts are not provided in the source metadata
