• Evaluating the reliability of emission estimates using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes monthly granularity for source-level emissions since 2021
• Provides confidence levels for estimated emissions
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants by sub-sector

Limitations

• Specific column names and row counts are not provided in the metadata
• Source ownership data is incomplete and only provided where available
• Emissions are estimates derived from models rather than direct sensor measurements
