Definitions

Data refer to greenhouse gas emissions that are anthropogenic emissions included in the national inventories as a result of human activities measured in terms of megatonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent. Data include emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), perfluorocarbons (PFCs), sulphur hexafluoride (SF6) and nitrogen trifluoride (NF3). Please see here for more information.

Concepts

Estimated using 2006 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Guidelines for National Greenhouse Gas Inventories and Global Warming Potential (GWP) values from the IPCC 5th Assessment Report (AR5). International bunker fuels are excluded in accordance with United Nations Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) reporting guidelines.

Computational Method

Sum of (Activity data x Emission factor x GWP AR5 for each greenhouse gas type)
