Sri Lanka Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions data for Sri Lanka, featuring annual country-level inventories since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The dataset covers sub-sector specific emissions and includes confidence scores for source-level estimates. It is produced by the Climate TRACE coalition using remote sensing and asset-level modeling.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in Sri Lankan GHG emissions using the monthly source-level data
• Comparing emissions across different industrial sub-sectors
• Assessing the reliability of emission estimates using the provided confidence scores

Strengths

• Includes monthly source-level granularity from 2021
• Covers both greenhouse gases and air pollutants
• Provides confidence metrics for source-level estimates

Limitations

• Specific column names and row counts are not provided in the metadata
• Source-level ownership data is incomplete
