PRIMAP-hist national historical emissions time series
The PRIMAP-hist emissions time series combines several sources of Kyoto greenhouse gases into one dataset. All UNFCCC (United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change) parties and most non-UNFCCC territories are included, with data for the years 1750 to 2023.
For CO₂, CH₄, and N₂O subsector data for Energy, Industrial Processes and Agriculture is available. Land-use and land-use change data are not included in the main data file. International aviation and shipping emissions are not included.

Years: 1750 – 2023
Coverage: Kyoto Greenhouse Gases*, CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, F-gases*, HFCs*, PFCs*, SF₆, NF₃
* Using GWPs from AR6, AR5, AR4, SAR
- updates country reported and some third party data
- to better incorporate short term trends the period that is used to calculate the trend for numerical extrapolation is reduced to 5 years except for energy CO₂
