Kuwait: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Kuwait's greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission inventory from 2015 to present, generated by the Climate TRACE coalition. The data includes annual country-level aggregates and monthly source-level estimates for specific industrial assets and sub-sectors.

Use Cases

• Monitoring industrial decarbonization progress in Kuwait using sub-sector emission trends
• Spatial analysis of pollution hotspots using source-level geographic data
• Validating national climate commitments against the gas-specific annual totals

Strengths

• Granular monthly source-level tracking starting in 2021
• Includes confidence scores for emission estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct physical measurements
• Source ownership data is incomplete and provided only where available
