Tno-Cams European Co2 Emissions 2000-2014 V1

<strong>Introduction</strong> This TNO_CAMS_CO2 emission dataset was prepared by TNO as a contribution to the H2020 project MACC-III and the subsequent Copernicus Atmospheric Monitoring Service. This model-ready historic emission inventory at high spatial resolution (~7x7 km) for UNECE-Europe for 15 consecutive years (2000–2014) providing CO₂ from fossil fuels and CO₂ from biofuels is intended to support modelling and sub-national scale identification of emissions. Where available and considered fit for purpose, we have used CO₂ estimates as reported by the Parties to UNFCCC. The data have been supplemented by other estimates, most notable from the IIASA GAINS model and the JRC EDGAR database to create a complete coverage. The approach to the spatial distribution of the dataset is similar to the TNO-MACC emission dataset for air pollutants ( see Kuenen et al., ACP, 2014). The emission grid consists of UNECE-Europe in WGS84 projection (lon-lat) with a spatial resolution of 1/8 x 1/16 degrees (lon x lat). The lower left of the grid is at lon = -60, lat = 30 and the upper right is at lon = 60, lat = 72. The grid files TXT (.csv) &amp; netcdf (.nc) both contain annual total emissions per grid cell for the year 2000-2014. A separate file has been prepared for each year. The unit in the .csv files is Mg/gridcell/yr The unit in the .nc files is kg/gridcell/yr Sectoral breakdown uses the SNAP classification. Compared to the default SNAP1 sectors (1 to 10), a couple of refinements have been made to the sectors: SNAP 3 and SNAP 4 are grouped as SNAP 34 SNAP 7 is split in SNAP 71 to 75 The dataset is described in Denier van der Gon, H.A.C., J.J.P. Kuenen, G. Janssens-Maenhout, U. Döring, S. Jonkers, A.J.H.
