Nicaragua Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Monthly Source-Level Data Since 2021

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions data for Nicaragua, featuring annual country-level summaries since 2015 and monthly source-level estimates since 2021. The inventory tracks emissions across various sub-sectors and includes ownership information for specific assets where available. This data is part of a global effort to monitor over 2.7 million emission sources using remote sensing and modeling.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Nicaragua's greenhouse gas emissions using annual sub-sector data
• Identifying high-emission hotspots through monthly source-level geospatial coordinates
• Correlating industrial ownership with emission outputs using the asset ownership field

Strengths

• Includes monthly source-level granularity since 2021
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants
• Provides asset-level ownership data for specific emission sources

Limitations

• Source-level data is unavailable for the period between 2015 and 2020
• Specific column names and schema are not detailed in the provided metadata
• Ownership information is inconsistent across all assets
