Climate TRACE has released its latest emissions data, expanding on the comprehensive emissions inventory with nearly twice the number of assets, and new levels of data granularity. As members of the global coalition, we are excited to share this free and open resource with you!
The latest Climate TRACE emissions inventory is now live on ClimateTRACE.org!
ALT A promotional graphic from Climate TRACE announcing new emissions data now live. The main section features a nighttime world map with color-coded dots indicating emission sources for various sectors in 2023, totaling 61.15 billion tons of COâ‚‚ equivalent. The map shows concentrated emissions in regions such as North America, Europe, and Asia. At the bottom, there is a link to "ClimateTRACE.org/Explore" for more details. The top and bottom of the image have a dark gray background with bold white text reading "NEW DATA NOW LIVE."

The @ClimateTRACE coalition is building a timely, open, and accessible inventory of exactly where greenhouse gas emissions are coming from.
Kyle Bradbury, director of @DukeU's Energy Data Analytics Lab and a @DukeEngineering professor, leads efforts to track building emissions.
“Buildings contribute anywhere from 6% to 9% of global emissions when looking at direct emissions, and far more indirectly when you factor in electricity and biomass…” but tracking those emissions is a challenging task. climatetrace.org/news/dukes-…@NichInstitute@DukeU
ALT A graphic titled "Conversations with the Coalition". On the left side is a photo of Kyle Bradbury, PhD, smiling and wearing a light blue shirt. To the right is a quote: “One of the biggest challenges is the sheer scale and diversity of buildings across the globe. If you think about building emissions, we're talking about every building across the 150 million-square-kilometers of land on Earth.” Below the quote, his name, "Kyle Bradbury, PhD," appears with "Duke University" in orange. The Climate TRACE logo is in the bottom left corner.
Alison Taylor, chief sustainability officer at ADM, is @DukeU's newest climate leader in residence.
Duke students, faculty, staff, and community members are invited to connect with Taylor at an event on Thursday, November 21.
