Industrial Process GHG Emissions By Country 1990-2018

Industrial Processes sector greenhouse gas emissions for 194 countries and the European Union from 1990 to 2018. Data includes six major GHGs, with non-CO2 emissions expressed in CO2 equivalents. The dataset is derived from the World Resources Institute's Climate Watch platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in 'Industrial Processes' sector emissions over the 1990-2018 time range for specific countries.
• Compare total GHG emissions in Mt CO2 eq across different countries for a given year.
• Model the relationship between economic development and industrial emissions using country-level time-series data.
• Benchmark a nation's industrial emissions performance against regional or global averages.

Strengths

• Covers 194 countries and the EU, providing broad geographic scope.
• Offers 29 years of temporal coverage from 1990 to 2018.
• Includes emissions data for six major greenhouse gases.

Limitations

• Data ends in 2018, creating a 6+ year gap for current analysis.
• Specific row count, column details, and sample size are unknown.
• Non-CO2 emissions rely on global warming potential conversions which may be updated.
