Spain Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides an inventory of greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions for Spain, featuring annual country-level data from 2015 and monthly source-level data from 2021. The dataset covers emissions by sub-sector and gas type, including confidence scores for source-level estimates.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in specific gas types using the monthly source-level emissions data
• Identifying high-emission industrial assets within Spain by filtering the sub-sector and source-level records
• Assessing the reliability of emission estimates by evaluating the provided confidence scores for specific assets

Strengths

• Includes monthly granularity for source-level data starting from 2021
• Provides confidence scores for each source-level emission estimate
• Covers multiple gas types and sub-sectors for a detailed breakdown of national emissions

Limitations

• Source-level data is limited to a shorter time frame starting in 2021 compared to country-level data starting in 2015
• Emissions are estimates derived from modeling rather than direct sensor measurements
