Background

PlainEmissions Editorial is our editorial team responsible for reconciling four independent greenhouse-gas data sources, EU EDGAR (Joint Research Centre), the World Bank Climate Knowledge Portal, Climate TRACE, and UNFCCC national inventory submissions, into one comparable dataset. Every figure on the site is traced to its upstream record; every methodology choice is documented on the methodology page.

How to use this site

PlainEmissions publishes reference material, data-driven pages, and explanatory tools. Use the source information, assumptions, limitations, and methodology shown on the individual page to decide whether it fits your situation.

Published information can summarize source data or provide an estimate; it is not professional financial, medical, legal, or engineering advice. For an important decision, compare the relevant page with a primary source or a qualified professional.

How information is presented

Pages that present data or estimates identify the available source, method, and material limitations. Results can differ from real-world outcomes because inputs, rules, rates, rounding, data coverage, and individual circumstances vary.

The methodology page explains the site-level approach and limitations. Check the source information on the page you are using rather than treating site-wide wording as a substitute for the current source.

Feedback

If you find an error, stale figure, or missing context on any page we publish, please use the contact page or write to hello@plainemissions.com with the URL and the issue.
