Sources used in Greenhouse Data¶

All of these inventories have been homogenized (as much as possible/recommended) by making sure they all include the following characteristics:

  • Country ISO codes (ISO-3). This is useful to easily create emission figures for all countries included in an inventory.
  • Emission units in CO2 or CO2-equivalent (CO2eq). Some inventories give native units of gases (for example kt of CH4), so columns were added for easy conversion using GWPs.

Furthermore, thank you to the following people:

  • Mauricio Foronda, for all the coding help
  • Nicolás Guarín-Zapata (nicoguaro in github) for the neon style in matplotlib, and for inspiring my NEONIZE() function.
  • My thesis supervisors: Sonia Seneviratne, Anthony Patt, Jonas Schwabb
  • Open Climate Data, from which I took the UNFCCC submission inventories.
