Svalbard and Jan Mayen: GHG and Air Pollutant Emissions since 2015

Climate TRACE provides annual and monthly greenhouse gas and air pollutant emissions estimates for Svalbard and Jan Mayen Islands starting from 2015. The inventory includes country-level data by sub-sector and gas, alongside monthly source-level estimates with confidence scores since 2021. Data is produced by the Climate TRACE coalition to provide an open inventory of emissions sources.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in specific gas types using the monthly source-level data
• Assessing the reliability of emissions estimates using the provided confidence scores
• Identifying high-emitting sub-sectors within the islands using the annual country-level aggregates

Strengths

• Includes monthly granularity for source-level data since 2021
• Provides confidence scores for emissions estimates
• Covers both annual country-level and monthly source-level observations

Limitations

• Source ownership data is only available where and when available, leading to potential gaps in asset attribution
• Temporal coverage for source-level data is limited to 2021 onwards
