Sao Tome and Principe: Greenhouse Gas Emissions by Sub-Sector (2015-2026)

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Sao Tome and Principe, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory covers emissions by sub-sector and gas type, derived from a global monitoring of over 2.7 million sources. This dataset was produced by the Climate TRACE coalition and updated in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in greenhouse gas emissions using the annual sub-sector data from 2015
• Mapping specific emission hotspots in Sao Tome and Principe using monthly source-level data
• Evaluating the reliability of emission reports using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes confidence scores for monthly source-level estimates
• Provides sub-sector and gas-specific granularity
• Covers both annual country-level and monthly source-level timeframes

Limitations

• Emissions are estimates rather than direct sensor measurements
• Source-level ownership data is incomplete
• Monthly granularity is only available for the period starting in 2021
