Nepal Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015 to 2026

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Nepal, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory covers emissions by sub-sector and gas type, derived from a global monitoring network of over 744 million assets. The data is produced by the Climate TRACE non-profit coalition to provide an open and timely inventory of emission sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Nepal's greenhouse gas emissions using the annual sub-sector and gas type fields
• Identifying high-emission hotspots in Nepal using the monthly source-level geospatial data
• Evaluating the reliability of emission reports using the provided confidence metrics

Strengths

• Annual country-level data starting from 2015
• Monthly source-level granularity from 2021
• Includes confidence scores for source-level estimates
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants

Limitations

• Source-level ownership data is only available for a subset of records
• Estimates are model-based rather than direct physical sensor measurements at every site
• Specific column names and schema are not provided in the source metadata
