Notes on data changes

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

  • BTR1 data for 2021 and data for 1994, 2000, 2012 from the 2016 inventory report is combined with data from 2018 from BUR1 and 2015 from DI and allows us to use country reported data for the first time. DI data for 2015 is downscaled to individual gases using shares from the 2016 inventory. BUR1 data for 2018 needs gas downscaling in the IPPU sector which is done using shares from BTR1. Overall emissions are significantly lower for the CR time-series.
    • CH4 emissions in 3.A are lower, especially since 2010 because we replace FAOSTAT data with country reported data.
    • Energy CO2 is higher before 2021 but lower starting in 2021 because the 2021 value in the CR data is lower than the 2021 value from CDIAC and EI data used in PRIMAP-hist v.2.6.1. EI data has changed significantly from the 2024 to the 2025 version as well.
    • CH4 and N2O in the energy sector are much lower in CR data than in EDGAR.
    • Waste emissions differ a lot from EDGAR waste emissions for CH4 and N2O.
    • Emissions in M.AG.ELV differ from FAOSTAT and are consistently lower for CH4 and for N2O lower pre-2010 and higher post-2010.
    • Emissions from the IPPU sector have also changed for all subsectors because EDGAR has been replaced by CR data.
  • For the TP time-series the most significant change is a reduction in Energy CO2 for recent years due to the new EI data.
    • A further change is that CH4 in the IPPU sector is now much higher as there is country reported data for 2.H where no EDGAR data exists.

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.
