  • 摘要:Individual countries report national emissions of methane, a potent greenhouse gas, in accordancewith the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC). We present a global inven-tory of methane emissions from oil, gas, and coal exploitation that spatially allocates the national emissionsreported to the UNFCCC (Scarpelli et al., 2019). Our inventory is at 0.1 ◦ ×0.1 ◦ resolution and resolves thesubsectors of oil and gas exploitation, from upstream to downstream, and the different emission processes (leak-age, venting, flaring). Global emissions for 2016 are 41.5Tga −1 for oil, 24.4Tga −1 for gas, and 31.3Tga −1for coal. An array of databases is used to spatially allocate national emissions to infrastructure, including wells,pipelines, oil refineries, gas processing plants, gas compressor stations, gas storage facilities, and coal mines.Gridded error estimates are provided in normal and lognormal forms based on emission factor uncertaintiesfrom the IPCC. Our inventory shows large differences with the EDGAR v4.3.2 global gridded inventory bothat the national scale and in finer-scale spatial allocation. It shows good agreement with the gridded version ofthe United Kingdom’s National Atmospheric Emissions Inventory (NAEI). There are significant errors on the0.1 ◦ ×0.1 ◦ grid associated with the location and magnitude of large point sources, but these are smoothed outwhen averaging the inventory over a coarser grid. Use of our inventory as prior estimate in inverse analyses of at-mospheric methane observations allows investigation of individual subsector contributions and can serve policyneeds by evaluating the national emissions totals reported to the UNFCCC. Gridded data sets can be accessed athttps://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/HH4EUM (Scarpelli et al., 2019).
