Other Fuel Combustion Sector Contribution to Global GHG Emission Growth

World Bank staff calculations reveal the Other Fuel Combustion sector's aggregate contribution to total greenhouse gas emission growth between 2012 and 2018. This analysis is derived from the World Resource Institute's Climate Watch historical emissions data, covering 194 countries and the EU. The underlying dataset spans from 1990 to 2018 and includes six major greenhouse gases.

Use Cases

• Analyze the 'contribution to total growth (%)' metric to rank the impact of the Other Fuel Combustion sector against other economic sectors.
• Model temporal trends in sectoral contribution using the defined 2012-2018 period for regional comparisons.
• Correlate the sector's growth contribution with national energy policies using the underlying country-level emissions data from 194 nations.

Strengths

• Analysis covers 194 countries and the European Union, providing a broad geographical scope.
• Underlying emissions data spans a 28-year period from 1990 to 2018, enabling long-term trend examination.

Limitations

• The dataset is temporally stale, with the latest analyzed year being 2018.
• Specific row count, column details, and sample data are unavailable, limiting reproducibility assessment.
• The analysis focuses on a single sector (Other Fuel Combustion), requiring integration with other datasets for a complete picture.
