Namibia Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions, 2015-2026

Delivering greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Namibia, produced by the Climate TRACE coalition. It contains annual country-level data from 2015 and monthly source-level data from 2021 across multiple sub-sectors. The inventory is derived from a global analysis of over 2.7 million emission sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Namibia's emissions using the annual sub-sector and gas type fields
• Identifying high-emission hotspots using the monthly source-level coordinates and confidence metrics
• Attributing emissions to specific entities using the ownership fields where available

Strengths

• Provides monthly granularity for source-level emissions since 2021
• Includes confidence scores for source-level estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and specific air pollutants

Limitations

• Specific column names and schema are not documented in the provided metadata
• Ownership data is inconsistent as it is only included where and when available
• Emissions are estimates based on modeling rather than direct continuous sensor measurements
