The filename of the EDGAR grid layers is shown for each EDGAR activity sector. For a full description of each EDGAR sector, see Janssens-Maenhout et al. (ref. 41).

Assumptions made as to the fuels contributing to unstratified EDGAR sectors are as follows (see section 2.1.2 for further detail):

(a) all emissions from off-road, rail and pipeline transport relate to the combustion of oil.

(b) all emissions from the production of steel, iron and non-ferrous metals relate to the combustion of coal.

(c) all emissions from fossil fuel fires relate to underground coal fires.

(d) all emissions from shipping were assumed to relate to bunker oil combustion.

(e) all emissions from the non-energy use of fuels sector relate to non-combustion use of oil.

(f) all emissions of from the solvents and product use sector relate to non-combustion use of oil.

(g) all chemical process emissions relate to the non-combustion use of natural gas.

(h) all non-metallic minerals production from EDGAR are assumed to be emissions from cement (clinker) production.
