Climate TRACE Emissions Inventory

Climate TRACE is a non-profit coalition of organizations building a timely, open, and accessible inventory of exactly where greenhouse gas emissions are coming from. Climate TRACE estimates greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions for over 1.8 million sources (from over 660 million assets), and every single country globally. Each download package includes CSVs of: Annual country-level emissions by sub-sector and by gas beginning in 2015 Monthly source-level emissions by sub-sector and gas beginning in 2021 and confidence Emissions source ownership where and when available. All Climate TRACE data are free and publicly available under a CC-BY 4.0 license to enable action and accountability at the massive scale necessary for global progress. Beginning in March 2025, Climate TRACE is releasing updated data with a 60-day lag during the final week of each month. All previous versions of the Climate TRACE asset- and country-level database will be uploaded to this page. With the addition of September 2025 data, the Climate TRACE database is now updated to version 5.1.0. Version 4.8.0 (released in October 30, 2025) will be available here. This release updates emissions factors for livestock subsectors to align with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's 2019 equations and emissions, expands enteric fermentation cattle operations coverage in 29 countries, improves direct and indirect emissions factors for iron and steel to align with the International Energy Agency and the World Steel Association, refreshes aluminum manufacturing data to use more detailed capacity factors instead of aggregated data, updates various aspects of the model for shipping emissions, updates data on oil and gas refineries in China to reflect additional input data, and improves ownership data in the power sector. A detailed description of data updates is available in our changelog here. We recommend getting familiar with how Climate TRACE data are created and structured by reviewing our FAQs, resources, and guidance: The Climate TRACE FAQs page is an especially useful resource to quickly learn how we develop the emissions inventory, what data are contained in the inventory, details on units of measurement and coverage, and much more. The Sectors page summarizes methodological details on dozens of sub-sectors.
