Global Fugitive Sector Non-CO2 Emissions by Country 1990-2018

1990-2018 data on fugitive sector non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions for 194 countries and the European Union, expressed in million metric tons of CO2 equivalent. The dataset is derived from the World Resources Institute's Climate Watch platform and compiled by the Country Climate and Development Report organization. It covers emissions of six major GHGs from most major sources and sinks.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in fugitive methane and other non-CO2 emissions by country and year.
• Model the relationship between economic sectors and their fugitive emission outputs using time-series data.
• Benchmark national fugitive emissions against regional averages using the 194-country coverage.
• Calculate CO2-equivalent contributions of different non-CO2 gases using IPCC AR4 GWP values.

Strengths

• Covers 194 countries and the EU for broad geographic analysis.
• Provides 29 years of consistent annual data from 1990 to 2018.
• Uses standardized IPCC Fourth Assessment Report GWP values for non-CO2 gas conversion.

Limitations

• Data ends in 2018, lacking recent years for current policy analysis.
• Specific emission source columns and exact row count are not provided.
• Relies on aggregated external sources which may introduce integration inconsistencies.
