Malaysia Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Source-Level Data Since 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Malaysia, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory tracks emissions across various sub-sectors and individual assets, incorporating confidence scores for source-level estimates. This dataset is part of a global effort to map over 2.7 million emission sources using remote sensing and other data-driven methods.

Use Cases

• Tracking sectoral emission trends in Malaysia using the sub-sector and gas type fields
• Evaluating the reliability of climate models by analyzing the confidence scores for monthly source-level data
• Mapping industrial pollution sources using the emissions source ownership and asset location data

Strengths

• Includes confidence scores for monthly source-level estimates
• Provides longitudinal country-level data starting from 2015
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants across multiple sub-sectors

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct physical measurements
• Ownership data for emission sources is incomplete
• Temporal resolution for source-level data is limited to post-2021
