Niger Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Niger, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory covers specific sub-sectors and gas types, incorporating data from over 2.7 million sources globally to provide localized environmental insights. This dataset was produced by the Climate TRACE coalition and was last updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing sub-sector emission trends in Niger to identify high-polluting industrial categories
• Evaluating the reliability of environmental models using the provided confidence scores
• Mapping specific emission sources to corporate or government owners for regulatory accountability

Strengths

• Includes confidence scores for all source-level emission estimates
• Provides sub-sector and gas-specific granularity for both annual and monthly scales
• Contains asset-level ownership data for identified emission sources

Limitations

• Emissions are modeled estimates rather than direct physical sensor measurements
• Ownership information is only included where and when available, leading to potential gaps
• Source-level temporal depth is limited to 2021 onwards
