Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR)

The EDGAR database is a joint project of RIVM and TNO and stores global inventories of direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions including halocarbons both on a per country basis as well as on 1 degree x 1 degree grid. The database has been developed with financial support from the Dutch Ministry of the Environment (VROM) and the Dutch National Research Programme on Global Air Pollution and Climate Change (NRP), in close cooperation with the Global Emissions Inventory Activity (GEIA), a component of the International Atmospheric Chemistry Programme (IGAC) of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program (IGBP).
