Libya: Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions Since 2015

Climate TRACE produced this inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Libya, covering annual country-level data from 2015 and monthly source-level data from 2021. The collection estimates emissions across various sub-sectors and gases for specific assets, including confidence scores for source-level records.

Use Cases

• Analyzing Libya's national emission trends by gas type using the annual country-level records
• Identifying high-impact industrial facilities using the monthly source-level sub-sector classifications
• Validating emission models by filtering records based on the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Monthly source-level granularity for assets since 2021
• Includes confidence scores for individual emission estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants across multiple sub-sectors

Limitations

• Source-level temporal coverage is restricted to 2021 onwards
• Data consists of estimates rather than direct ground-truth measurements
• Country-level historical data is limited to the period starting in 2015
