What was done to it

  1. Read the sheet 'GHG_totals_by_country' of EDGAR_2026_GHG_booklet_2026.xlsx (sha256 bb77a0da5735…): one row per country or aggregate, one column per year 1970–2025, in million tonnes of CO₂-equivalent per year (Mt CO2eq/yr) as the workbook's info sheet states. Each value is published exactly as stored in its cell: nothing is rounded, added up, divided or converted, because the licence of the fossil CO₂ part (IEA-EDGAR CO2, CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) allows no derivatives.

    Code: pipeline/src/envdash/transforms/emissions/edgar_2026.py · code sha256 e917da7000ab67e8… · inputs bb77a0da5735… 4e5712706aed…

  2. Matched EDGAR's codes to ours: ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes directly, except GLOBAL TOTAL "GLOBAL TOTAL" is WLD, EU27 "EU27" is EU27, AIR "International Aviation" is INTL_AIR, SEA "International Shipping" is INTL_SEA, ANT "Curaçao" is CUW, SCG "Serbia and Montenegro" is SRB_MNE (ANT is the old code of the Netherlands Antilles; EDGAR names the row Curaçao, here and on its report profile; SCG is one row for Serbia and Montenegro together). Rows that cover a country together with a neighbour (CHE "Switzerland and Liechtenstein", ESP "Spain and Andorra", FRA "France and Monaco", ISR "Israel and Palestine, State of", ITA "Italy, San Marino and the Holy See", SDN "Sudan and South Sudan") are published under the code EDGAR gives them, with EDGAR's row name as a note on every value.

  3. Checked against the report PDF (sha256 4e5712706aed…): the totals exclude land use, land-use change and forestry (page 11: 'The latest EDGAR estimates indicate that global GHG emissions (excluding LULUCF) reached a new record high of 54.1 Gt CO₂eq in 2025'), and the world total includes international shipping and aviation (page 74: 'Global totals for all countries, including international shipping and aviation').

  4. Values for 2024 and 2025 are marked preliminary, because the report says (page 50) 'the emissions for the Fast-Track years (2024-2025) reported in this booklet will be updated in subsequent editions of this booklet'.
