Emission information is critical for uses in climate, air quality, and policy. There are several emission species with different priorities for different stakeholders.
High Need
[ ] CO2 - Carbon dioxide
[ ] NOx - Nitrogen oxides
[ ] SOx - Sulphur oxides
[ ] PM - Particulate matter
Full Emission List
[ ] CH4 - Methane
[ ] CO - Carbon Monoxide
[ ] N2O - Nitrous oxide
[ ] PFCs - Perfluorocarbons
[ ] CO - Carbon monoxide
[ ] SF6 - Sulphur hexafluoride
[ ] Hg - Mercury
[ ] O3 - Ozone
