Mauritania Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Source-Level Monthly Data from 2021

Offering greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Mauritania, produced by the Climate TRACE coalition. It contains annual country-level summaries by sub-sector starting in 2015 and high-resolution monthly source-level data beginning in 2021. The inventory covers multiple gases and includes confidence scores for source-level estimates.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal emission trends in Mauritania using monthly source-level data
• Evaluating the reliability of climate models using the provided confidence scores
• Identifying high-impact emission sources within specific sub-sectors for policy targeting

Strengths

• Provides monthly granularity for source-level emissions from 2021
• Includes confidence scores for every source-level emission estimate
• Covers both annual country-level and monthly asset-level temporal scales

Limitations

• Specific column headers and schema are not explicitly defined in the metadata
• Emission values are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
• Asset ownership information is inconsistent across the dataset
