About this data
Annual and quarterly greenhouse gas emissions by activity and by country and region. Regional estimates are presented by industry and household for four gases - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, and F-gases. The F-gases constitute of hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, sulfur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride. Emissions are presented in Million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MTCO2e).
