Citation: Andrew, R. M., & Peters, G. P. (2024). The Global Carbon Project's fossil CO2 emissions dataset (2023v43) [Data set]. Zenodo. https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.10562476

Coverage: Fossil CO₂ from Coal, Oil, Gas, Flaring, Cement, Other, and Per Capita Fossil CO₂ emissions

Countries/regions: Global sum and 224 countries and regions.

Years: 1750 – 2022

Notes:
  • Known problems with Réunion, Guadeloupe, French Guiana, and Martinique as a result of changes to France's reporting
  • UN M49 codes provided in the data files are erroneous and should be considered to be unreliable
Changelog:
  • New coal emissions for 20 Latin American countries estimated from data collated by Yáñez et al. (2013)
  • Further work identifying true zeros and true NaNs (=NODATA)
  • Clear indication of source as CDIAC (Andres et al. 2011) before 1950 where appropriate
  • Various updates to countries for which low-lag data are available
  • Corrected: some data were incorrectly processed in per capita series
  • Corrected: some sources were incorrect for disaggregated countries
