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 June 2025 data, the Climate TRACE database is now updated to version 4.6.0. Version 4.5.0 (released in July 31, 2025) will be available here. This release introduced major improvements to cement sector data, which now includes information from Global Energy Monitor (GEM)’s Global Cement and Concrete Tracker, resulting in changes to global emissions totals, asset-level activity data, and emissions factors. Additionally, all historical oil and gas production and transport data was updated with new modeling on lifecycle emissions and changes to input data sources. Other updates include: the addition of monthly, country-level data for crop residues; the addition of Q1 2025 data in the following forestry subsectors: land clearing, land degradation, forest fires, shrubgrass fires, wetland fires, and through May 2025 for water reservoirs; the incorporation of improved spatial data for water reservoirs; the addition of Q3 2024 asset-level data for oil refineries and steam cracking petrochemical assets; and the addition of asset-level data for rice production in 15 countries. 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. The data are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License; more details can be found on our terms of use page. Detailed guidance on the data schema, licensing, and citations can be found in the data guide, as well as in the “detailed-data-schema” in the download packages.
