Emissions for CityZen





Last updated: August 25, 2009

Emissions for Europe have been provided by Bertrand Bessagnet (INERIS) and Guillaume Siour (LISA/INERIS/ADEME) for different years. The emissions are given on a lon/lat coordinate system. The emission inventory has been directly elaborated from the 0.5°x0.5° EMEP emissions available at http://www.emep.int

Emissions within each 0.5°x0.5° EMEP grid cell are regridded to a 0.1°x0.1° lon/lat grid using a fine scale global land cover database at a about 300 m resolution called GlobCover. More information about GlobCover can be found at http://ionia1.esrin.esa.int/

  • 'Crops' and 'grass' land covers are used to reallocate agricultural emissions
  • 'Articial areas' land cover is used to reallocate the other anthropogenic sectors
  • Maritime emissions (sector 8) are processed separately


One file per pollutant and per year was generated. Within each file, emissions are given as an annual total per grid cell and per SNAP sector (information about SNAP). Emission units are Mg/cell. NOx are given in equivalent NO2.

All files are organized as follows:

1st column Country/Area code (EMEP codes)
2nd column Latitude (mid-point)
3rd column Longitude (mid-point)
4th column Emission Sector 1
14th column Emission Sector 11

Caution: the codes for maritime zones can have 2 or 3 digits. Choose either 2 or 3 digits for these codes, do not sum all. In doing so, you would double-count the emissions!

Sector 11: Only SOx emissions have non-zero values. Particulate matter: 1998 and 1999 PM annual totals are the same.

The creators of the data set also acknowledge Jean-Louis Monge and Marc Stefanon (INERIS) for helping with the regridding procedure.

Data and files were created by INERIS. To download click on the years.

1998
1999
2000
2001
2002
2003
2004
2005
2006

Plots for all years were provided by Øivind Hodnebrog (UiO).

Plots for all years (linear scale)
Plots for all years (log scale)

Global emissions are being created by CNRS based on year 2000 data and 2010 from RCP. The European emission data set created by EMEP and INERIS are merged into the global data set.
