Key Features of the Emissions Inventory Produced Using the Community Emissions Data System (CEDS) Updated for the GBD MAPS Projecta

Feature Details
Years 1970–2017
Atmospheric Pollutants NOx, SO2, CO, NH3, NMVOCs, BC, OC
Resolution Country: annual emission totals, kg/yr
Global: monthly average gridded (0.5° × 0.5°) fluxes, kg/m2-sec
Anthropogenic Sectorsb

  1. Agriculture (noncombustion sources only, excludes open fires)

  2. Energy (transformation and extraction)

  3. Industry (combustion and noncombustion processes)

  4. On-road transportation

  5. Off-road/nonroad transportation (rail, domestic navigation, and other)

  6. Residential combustion

  7. Commercial combustion

  8. Other combustion from agriculture, forestry, and fishing

  9. Solvents

  10. Waste (disposal and handling, including burning of agricultural waste)

  11. International shipping
Fuel Categoriesb

  1. Total coal combustion (hard coal + brown coal + coal coke)

  2. Solid biofuel combustion

  3. Liquid fuel (light oil + heavy oil + diesel oil) plus natural gas combustion

  4. Remaining emissions that could not be cleanly allocated to combustion of one of the above fuels (e.g., fugitive emissions, windblown dust, or industry sources that use multiple fuels)

a See IR Table 1 for more details on the anthropogenic sectors and fuel categories. Source contributions from windblown dusts, AFCID dust, agricultural fires, and other fires were included outside of the emissions inventory.

b The sum of emissions from all anthropogenic sectors and the sum of emissions from all fuel categories are equal.
