Climate TRACE Emissions Inventory

Climate TRACE is a non-profit coalition of organizations building a timely, open, and accessible inventory of exactly where greenhouse gas emissions are coming from. Climate TRACE estimates greenhouse gas (GHG) and air pollutant emissions for over 2.7 million sources (from over 744 million assets), and every single country globally.

Each download package includes CSVs of:

• Annual country-level emissions by sub-sector and by gas beginning in 2015
• Monthly source-level emissions by sub-sector and gas beginning in 2021 and confidence
• Emissions source ownership where and when available.

All Climate TRACE data are free and publicly available under a CC-BY 4.0 license to enable action and accountability at the massive scale necessary for global progress. Beginning in March 2025, Climate TRACE is releasing updated data with a 60-day lag during the final week of each month. All previous versions of the Climate TRACE asset- and country-level database will be uploaded to this page.

With the addition of November 2025 data, the Climate TRACE database is now updated to version 5.3.0.

Version 5.2.0 (released December 18, 2025) will be available here. Note: V5.0.0 release launched at COP30 and now includes data on potential options for reducing emissions at every asset in the Climate TRACE database.

V5.2.0 expands asset coverage to include 245 additional power plants (globally) and 2,287 additional cattle operations (all in Japan). It includes non-greenhouse gas emissions for petrochemical steam cracking facilities in Asia Pacific and the Middle East. The waste sector has updated modeling for its landfill emissions: emissions are now modeled natively for each month, where previously, annual estimates were disaggregated into monthly estimates. The release also includes data fixes within transportation and waste sectors.

A detailed description of data updates is available in our changelog here.

We recommend getting familiar with how Climate TRACE data are created and structured by reviewing our FAQs, resources, and guidance:

• The Climate TRACE FAQs page is an especially useful resource to quickly learn how we develop the emissions inventory, what data are contained in the inventory, details on units of measurement and coverage, and much more.
• The Sectors page summarizes methodological details on dozens of sub-sectors. The data are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License; more details can be found on our terms of use page.
• Detailed guidance on the data schema, licensing, and citations can be found in the data guide, as well as in the “detailed-data-schema” in the download packages.
