Entry ID: CH4_ENERGY_EMISSIONS

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: This dataset provides global national and United States data on energy-related
sources of methane (CH4) emission including coal mining, natural gas production
and distribution, automotive exhausts and landfills. The data is available in
hardcopy form from CDIAC as Technical Report TR047 prepared by D.W. Barns and
J.A. Edmonds. The natural gas production data is based on the United Nations
