NOAA’s Barrow Observatory conducts research on greenhouse gases, aerosols, surface radiation and stratospheric ozone.
EDGAR
The EDGAR emissions database covers anthropogenic greenhouse gases and air pollution around the world, drawing on multiple sources.
About EDGAR
EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) is a global database of human-caused emissions of greenhouse gases and air pollutants. The homepage describes its estimates as independent of those reported by European Member States or by Parties to the UNFCCC. The estimates use international statistics and a consistent IPCC methodology. Outputs include national totals and gridded maps at 0.1 x 0.1 degree resolution, with yearly, monthly, and up to hourly data. The homepage describes a 2026 GHG release covering 1970 to 2025.
The homepage links to a Data Explorer, Country Fact Sheets, emissions data and maps, archived datasets, a methodology page, and terms of use and disclaimer pages. This entry does not summarize those pages. Pricing is not stated on the homepage.
