EDGAR v8.0_GHG 1970-2022 (CO2, CH4, N2O, F-gases) EDGARv8.0 provides emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) and fluorinated gases per sector and country. Annual time series and emission gridmaps are provided by sector, as well as monthly data for the last available year.
EDGAR v7.0_GHG 1970-2021 (CO2, CH4, N2O, F-gases) EDGARv7.0 provides emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) and fluorinated gases per sector and country. Annual time series and emission gridmaps are provided by sector, as well as monthly data for the last available year.
EDGAR v6.0 provides emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4, N2O) and fluorinated gases per sector and country. Annual time series and emission gridmaps are provided by sector, as well as monthly data for the last available year.
EDGAR v5.0 provides emissions of the three main greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4 and N2O) per sector and country from 1970 to 2015. Annual time series and emission gridmaps are provided by sector, as well as monthly data for the last available year.
EDGAR v4.3.2 GHG (published in 2017) In EDGARv4.3.2 emissions are calculated for the three main greenhouse gases per sector and country. For the energy related sectors the activity data are mainly based on the energy balance statistics of IEA (2014) (link), whereas the activity data for the agricultural sectors originate mainly from FAO (2014). Additional information can be found in Janssens-Maenhout et al., (ESSD, 2017).
v6.1_AP 1970-2018 (Gases and Aerosols) EDGARv6.1 provides emissions for the air pollutants (SO2, NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH3, PM10, PM2.5, BC, OC) from 1970 to 2018 by sector and country. Annual time series and emission gridmaps are provided by sector, as well as monthly data for the last available year.
v5.0_AP 1970-2015 (Gases and Aerosols) EDGARv5.0 provides emissions for the air pollutants (SO2, NOx, CO, NMVOC, NH3, PM10, PM2.5, BC, OC) from 1970 to 2015 by sector and country. Annual time series and emission gridmaps are provided by sector, as well as monthly data for the last available year.
v4.3.2_VOC_spec NMVOC speciated 1970-2012 Region- and sector-specific NMVOC speciation profiles are here developed and applied to the EDGAR database. Here we provide the 1970-2012 time series and annual gridmaps for 25 NMVOC species using the EDGAR speciation profiles applied to the EDGARv4.3.2 data. Monthly data are also available for the year 2010.
Global Emissions EDGAR v4.3.1
(timeseries)
(gridmaps)
In EDGAR v4.3.1 emissions are calculated for gaseous and particulate air pollutants per sector and country. For the energy related sectors the activity data are mainly based on the energy balance statistics of IEA (2014), whereas the activity data for the agricultural sectors originate mainly from FAO (2012).
EDGAR Toxic Pollutants v4.tox2 Mercury Mercury emission is a global issue. Mitigation of mercury is addressed internationally by actions stipulated in the Long-range Transboundary Air Pollution Convention, Protocol on Heavy Metals of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), complemented and extended to the global level by the provisions of the Minamata Convention of the United Nations Environmental Programme (UNEP). This framework streamlines the efforts towards reducing the harmful impacts of mercury and its compounds on human health and the environment at global, regional and local scales.
EDGARv4.tox1
The EDGAR Team compiled the global mercury emission inventory, which is included in EDGARv4.tox1; three different forms of mercury have been distinguished: gaseous elemental mercury, gaseous oxidized mercury and particle bound mercury. The paper "Trend analysis from 1970 to 2008 and model evaluation of EDGARv4 global gridded anthropogenic mercury emissions" published open access in Science of the Total Environment (link), describes this emission inventory and the results of its evaluation with GEOS-Chem global 3-D mercury model.

EDGAR-HTAP_V1 (June 2011)
The EDGAR-HTAP project compiled a global emission dataset with annual inventories for CH4, NMVOC, CO, SO2, NOx, NH3, PM10, PM2.5, BC and OC and covering the period 2000-2005 using, to the extent possible, official or scientific inventories at the national or regional scale that are likely to be acceptable for policy makers in each region of the world.
