SoE2017: Agriculture Sector Greenhouse Gas Emissions in Australia, 2005-2016

SoE2017: Agriculture sector greenhouse gas emissions tracks emissions from the Australian agriculture sector. Emissions decreased 6% between 2005 and 2016, a change attributed mainly to a decline in livestock numbers. The dataset is published by the Queensland Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in agricultural greenhouse gas emissions based on reported annual totals.
• Model the relationship between livestock population changes and emission levels based on the described causal link.
• Benchmark regional or national agricultural emissions performance against the reported 2005-2016 timeframe.

Strengths

• Includes a specific 6% emissions decrease metric for a defined 11-year period (2005-2016).
• Attributes the primary change to a concrete factor: a decline in livestock numbers.
• Published by a government environmental department, suggesting an official data source.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description is brief, offering no detail on emission types, livestock categories, or sub-annual trends.
