Non-CO2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions From Other Fuel Combustion By Sector

Sector-level non-CO2 greenhouse gas emissions data for 194 countries and the European Union, expressed in CO2 equivalents. The dataset covers emissions from the 'Other Fuel Combustion' sector for the period 1990-2018. It was generated by the World Resources Institute's Climate Watch platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in non-CO2 emissions from the 'Other Fuel Combustion' sector across 195 entities using the 1990-2018 time series.
• Compare national contributions of non-CO2 GHGs from fuel combustion using the country-level data.
• Calculate CO2-equivalent emissions for non-CO2 gases using the IPCC Fourth Assessment Report global warming potentials applied in the dataset.
• Model sectoral emission pathways by integrating this 'Other Fuel Combustion' data with other sector datasets from Climate Watch.

Strengths

• Covers 195 entities (194 countries and the EU), providing broad geographic scope.
• Offers a 29-year time series from 1990 to 2018 for longitudinal analysis.
• Emissions data is standardized using IPCC AR4 100-year GWP values for consistent CO2-equivalent comparison.

Limitations

• Data is not updated beyond 2018, creating a significant temporal gap for current analysis.
• Specific row count, column details, and sample size for the 'Other Fuel Combustion' subset are unknown.
• Emissions from Land-Use Change and Forestry or Agriculture require separate citation to FAO sources, indicating potential integration complexity.
