    "additionalInfo": "Emissions are displayed for all GHG aggregated, and also separately for: carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4), nitrous oxide (N2O) and F-gases. The latter category comprises perfluorocarbons (PFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), nitrogen trifluoride (NF3) and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6). All emissions are expressed in gigagrams of CO2 equivalent (Gg CO2eq). The classification of economic sectors is based on the reporting tables of the 2006 IPCC Guidelines (IPCC 2006, vol.1, ch.8).",

    "dataPublisherSource": "The \u2018Emissions by sector\u2019 domain of the FAOSTAT Agri-Environmental Indicators section contains data on emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG) by gas, economic sector, country and year. The sources for these data are: \u2022 FAOSTAT emissions domains (Emissions - Agriculture and Emissions - Land Use) (FAO, 2016) for the sectors: \u2018Agriculture total\u2019, \u2018Land Use sources\u2019 and \u2018Forest\u2019. \u2022 EDGAR (Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research) (JRC/PBL, 2016) for the sectors: \u2018Energy (energy industries, manufacturing and fugitive emissions)\u2019, \u2018Transport\u2019, \u2018Residential, commercial, institutional and AFF (Agriculture/Forestry/Fishing)\u2019, \u2018Industrial processes and product use\u2019, \u2018Waste\u2019, \u2018Other sources\u2019 and \u2018International Bunkers\u2019. In the EDGAR database, developed by the Joint Research Centre of the European Commission and the Netherlands Environmental Assessment Agency (JRC/PBL, 2016), the annual data on GHG emissions are available by country, source/sink category, gas and year. The source/sink categories follow the guidelines from IPCC (1997) Revised 1996 IPCC Guidelines for National GHG Inventories (Olivier et al., 2011, p.8). In this FAOSTAT \u2018Emissions by sector\u2019 domain, the source/sink categories from EDGAR have been aggregated into seven sectors, as shown in table 1 below. EDGAR data under IPCC categories 4 and 5 (\u2018Total Agriculture\u2019 and \u2018Total Land-Use Change and Forestry\u2019) have not been included, as these data have been taken from FAOSTAT. EDGAR data for \u2018International aviation\u2019 and \u2018International navigation/shipping\u2019 are available only at the world level."
