Solomon Islands Greenhouse Gas Emissions: Source-Level Data Since 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for the Solomon Islands, featuring annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset tracks emissions across specific sub-sectors and gas types for individual assets, incorporating confidence scores for each estimate. It was produced by the Climate TRACE coalition to provide an open-access inventory of global emission sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal emission trends in the Solomon Islands using monthly source-level data starting from 2021
• Comparing the environmental impact of different industrial sub-sectors based on gas type emissions
• Assessing the reliability of specific emission points using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Provides source-level confidence scores for every estimate
• Granular monthly temporal resolution for source-level data
• Includes specific sub-sector and gas type classifications

Limitations

• Data consists of estimates derived from modeling rather than direct continuous sensor measurements for all assets
• Inconsistent availability of asset ownership metadata
