EDGAR - Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research

Mapping human emissions on Earth

EDGAR - Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research

EDGAR is a multipurpose, independent, global database of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollution on Earth. EDGAR provides independent emission estimates compared to what reported by European Member States or by Parties under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), using international statistics and a consistent IPCC methodology.
EDGAR provides both emissions as national totals and gridmaps at 0.1 x 0.1 degree resolution at global level, with yearly, monthly and up to hourly data.

EDGAR is an independent database of anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants on Earth providing both emissions as national totals and gridmaps at 0.1 x 0.1 degree resolution at global level, with yearly, monthly and up to hourly data, policy and scientifically relevent.

GHG Emissions and Climate

Climate change is expected to have significant impacts on natural resources, the world economy and human health. It will lead to increased temperatures, rising sea levels and increased frequencies of extreme weather events such as floods and droughts.

Air and Toxic pollutants

Despite continued efforts to reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants, air pollution remains a worldwide concern, including in large areas of Europe.

GHGs from the food systems

Food system involves all economic sectors and makes a significant contribution to total anthropogenic GHGs emissions. Understanding the various components is a necessary precursor to the design and implementation of actionable and efficient mitigation measures for the system.

EDGAR v8.0 GHG

The newest version of the EDGAR GHG database (8.0), covering the time span of 1970 to 2022, is now publicly available. This new release maintains and updates the features that have made EDGAR a highly regarded reference in the international debate around GHG emissions and their control: world coverage by both national and gridded data, very detailed sectorial resolution following the IPCC guidelines, long time series and coverage of both GHGs and the most relevant air pollutants.
