Column NameAPI Column NameData TypeDescriptionSample Values
YearyearnumberYear to which measurement applies.
TypetypetextDescribes if the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is from energy related activities (i.e. fossil fuel combustion), non-energy related activities, or indirect electricity consumption.
Economic sectorseconomic_sectorstextThe sector from which the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are being generated.
SourcesourcetextThe source of the greenhouse gas (GHG) emission from a particular sector.
Fuel typefuel_typetextApplies to the source fossil fuel combustion; identifies the fuel type that was burned which generated a greenhouse gas (GHG).
GasgastextThe specific greenhouse gas (GHG) that was emitted from a source. Carbon Dioxide (CO2), Nitrous Oxide (N20), Methane (CH4), Sulfur Hexafluoride (SF6), Hydrofluorocarbons (HFC), and Perfluorocarbons (PFC).
Value (MMTCO2e)value_mmtco2enumberThe amount of greenhouse gas (GHG) that was emitted, measured in million metric tons of CO2 equivalent (MmtCO2e). MmtCO2e is a common unit used to measure of the global warming potential of each type of greenhouse gas (GHG). It is calculated using global warming potential values from the Fourth Assessment Report (AR4) of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
