Notes on data changes

Here we list notes explaining important emissions changes for the country.

• Data from BTR1 has been replaced by data from the 2025 National Inventory Submission. This leads to changes in several sectors and gases which are small in terms of total emissions.
  • The main change for 2023 is a 4.4% reduction in energy CO2 emissions where 2023 growth rates in the CR data are lower than the growth rates in EI 2024 used for extrapolation in PRIMAP-hist v2.6.1
  • N2O from M.AG.ELV has been updated for the last years.
  • Waste CH4 has a small change for 2023 because CR data shows a slight emissions decrease while EDGAR emissions used for extrapolation in v2.6.1 are relatively constant.
• PFC emissions are lower because of a continued short term downward trend. This also affects the TP scenario as there is not third party data for PFCs for Malta.
• Changes in the TP scenario are very small and mainly come from the updated EI data for energy CO2.

Changes by sector and gas

For each scenario and time frame the changes are displayed for all individual sectors and all individual gases. In the sector plot we use aggregate Kyoto GHGs in AR6GWP100. In the gas plot we usenational total emissions without LULUCF.
