Anthropogenic Nitrous Oxide Emissions for 339 Chinese Cities, 2010-2024

Source-based and full-scale anthropogenic nitrous oxide emissions from China’s 339 cities for 2010-2024 is a monthly, city-level inventory built on the China High Resolution Emission Database (CHRED 3.0). It integrates source-level data from over 1.5 million industrial facilities across energy use, industrial production, agriculture, and waste sectors. The dataset, authored by Jing Guo and released under CC-BY-4.0, aims to reduce uncertainty and provide precise spatiotemporal emission patterns for climate mitigation.

Use Cases

• Modeling spatiotemporal emission patterns based on monthly, city-level dynamics.
• Assessing sectoral contributions to N2O emissions based on integrated data from energy, industry, agriculture, and waste sources.
• Evaluating progress towards climate targets based on a consistent, high-resolution inventory spanning 2010-2024.

Strengths

• Covers 339 Chinese cities, providing granular spatial resolution.
• Integrates source-level data from over 1.5 million industrial facilities.
• Provides monthly temporal resolution from 2010 to 2024.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
