Rwanda Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides annual and monthly greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Rwanda starting from 2015. The inventory includes country-level aggregations by sub-sector and gas, alongside source-level monthly data from 2021 onwards.

Use Cases

• Analyzing trends in specific greenhouse gases across Rwandan sub-sectors
• Evaluating monthly emission fluctuations at the source level using the confidence column
• Mapping emission sources to specific owners to identify high-impact stakeholders

Strengths

• Includes confidence scores for monthly source-level estimates
• Covers both annual country-level and monthly source-level granularity
• Provides data for over 2.7 million sources globally within the Climate TRACE framework

Limitations

• Source-level ownership data is incomplete and only provided where available
• Emissions are estimates derived from models rather than direct sensor measurements
