Consolidated European CO2 Emissions and Removals: 1990-2018

The dataset 'The consolidated European synthesis of CO2 emissions and removals for EU27 and UK: 1990-2018' contains all data from figures in the associated ESSD paper. It provides a synthesized record of carbon dioxide emissions and removals across European nations for nearly three decades. The data is presented in CSV format, supporting analysis of national and regional carbon budgets.

Use Cases

• Trend analysis of national CO2 emissions based on synthesized national reports
• Validation of carbon budget models using consolidated removal figures
• Policy impact assessment by comparing emission trajectories across EU member states

Strengths

• Synthesizes data from a large, multi-author scientific consortium
• Provides a long-term time series (1990-2018) for longitudinal study
• Associated with a peer-reviewed Earth System Science Data discussion paper

Limitations

• Specific column names and dataset size (rows, file size) are unknown from the provided descriptions
• The dataset's structure beyond CSV format is not detailed
