Building material stock drives embodied carbon emissions and risks future climate goals in China

These files contain the building material stock database from 2000 to 2020. This version serves as a supplement to the previous release and specifically adds data that were missing in the earlier version.

Due to file size limitations on the platform, we are unable to upload the complete high-resolution 30-meter dataset. However, interested researchers may contact the authors Chaoqun Zhang (cqzhang@mail.bnu.edu.cn) and Ziyue Chen (zychen@bnu.edu.cn) to obtain the full dataset.

Data information: The compressed files include building material stock data at 1-kilometer resolution from 2000 to 2020, aggregated from the 30-meter data, with each 1-kilometer grid cell representing the total stock within that area. The unit of the raster cell values is kilograms. Owing to uncertainties in material factors, building height, and footprint, these values represent the average building material stocks.
