Malawi Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions Since 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Malawi, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory tracks emissions across various sub-sectors and gas types, incorporating data from specific assets and sources globally estimated by a non-profit coalition.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Malawi's greenhouse gas emissions using the annual sub-sector data
• Identifying high-emission geographic hotspots using monthly source-level coordinates
• Assessing the reliability of emission reports using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Provides monthly granularity for source-level emissions since 2021
• Includes confidence scores for emission estimates
• Covers both annual country-level and specific asset-level data

Limitations

• Ownership information is inconsistent and only provided where available
• Relies on estimation models rather than direct sensor measurements for all assets
• Source-level temporal coverage is significantly shorter than country-level coverage
