Taiwan Greenhouse Gas and Air Pollutant Emissions from 2015

Climate TRACE provides greenhouse gas and air pollutant emission estimates for Taiwan, covering annual country-level data since 2015 and monthly source-level data since 2021. The inventory tracks emissions across sub-sectors and specific gases, derived from a global database of over 2.7 million sources. This data is maintained by the Climate TRACE coalition to provide an open inventory of global emission origins.

Use Cases

• Analyzing temporal trends in specific greenhouse gases using the monthly source-level emissions
• Evaluating sectoral contributions to air pollution by filtering the annual country-level emissions by sub-sector
• Assessing the reliability of emission estimates using the provided confidence metrics

Strengths

• Monthly granularity for source-level data starting in 2021
• Includes confidence scores for source-level emission estimates
• Covers both GHG and air pollutants across multiple sub-sectors

Limitations

• Source-level data is restricted to the period starting in 2021
• Incomplete ownership data for many emission sources
