Other Fuel Combustion Greenhouse Gas Emissions By Country And Sector

Sector-level greenhouse gas emissions data for 194 countries and the European Union from 1990 to 2018. The dataset tracks emissions of six major GHGs, converting non-CO2 gases into CO2 equivalents. It is generated by the World Resources Institute's Climate Watch platform.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in 'Other Fuel Combustion' sector emissions over the 1990-2018 time_range for specific countries.
• Compare national GHG totals across the 194 countries and the European Union geography covered.
• Model the contribution of non-CO2 gases, expressed in CO2 equivalents, to a country's total sectoral emissions.

Strengths

• Covers 194 countries and the European Union, providing broad spatial coverage.
• Includes a 29-year temporal record from 1990 to 2018 for longitudinal analysis.
• Reports emissions for six major greenhouse gases, not just CO2.

Limitations

• Data ends in 2018, creating a significant temporal gap for current analysis.
• Specific row counts, column details, and sample sizes are not provided.
• Emissions from Land-Use Change and Forestry or Agriculture require separate citation to FAO sources, indicating potential integration complexity.
