Tables

This database includes annual information on CO emissions related to commercial passenger and freight flights, on both a territory and a residence basis, for 186 countries. These CO emissions are estimated by the OECD, based on a consistent methodology across countries.

Air Emission Accounts are available for European countries and a few non-European countries.

The System of Environmental-Economic Accounting (SEEA) Central Framework is an accounting system developed around two objectives: "understanding the interactions between the economy and the environment" and describing "stocks and changes in stocks of environmental assets". The SEEA combines national accounts and environmental statistics in a statistical framework with consistent definitions, classifications and concepts allowing policy makers to evaluate environmental pressures from economic activities at macro- and meso-levels.

Data refer to total emissions of CO2 (CO2 emissions from energy use and industrial processes, e.g. cement production), CH4 (methane emissions from solid waste, livestock, mining of hard coal and lignite, rice paddies, agriculture and leaks from natural gas pipelines), N2O (nitrous oxide), HFCs (hydrofluorocarbons), PFCs (perfluorocarbons), (SF6 +NF3) (sulphur hexafluoride and nitrogen trifluoride), SOx (sulphur oxides, NOx (nitrogen oxides), CO (carbon monoxide), NMVOC (non-methane volatile organic compounds), PM2.5 (particulates less that 2.5 µm), PM10 (particulates less that 10 µm) and NH3 (ammonia).

The OECD Air Emission Accounts present data based on ISIC rev. 4.

The OECD methodology takes the emission data from the national greenhouse gas inventories submitted under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) as a starting point. The emission data in the inventories are allocated to ISIC rev. 4 industries and households using the correspondence table proposed by Eurostat.

Companion dataset to Effective Carbon Rates (ECR).

ECRs measures carbon pricing of CO2-emissions from energy use in 44 OECD and G20 countries, covering 80% of world emissions. The dataset provides a comprehensive view on carbon pricing, including fuel excise taxes, carbon taxes and tradable emission permit prices.

For additional information, see Effective Carbon Rates 2021.

Annex A of the first publication of Effective Carbon Rates (OECD, 2016) provides a detailed description of the methodology for calculating ECRs.

The OECD maintains a database of Policy Instruments for the Environment (PINE), originally developed in co-operation with the European Environment Agency (EEA) . The database contains detailed qualitative and quantitative information on environmentally related taxes, fees and charges, tradable permits, deposit-refund systems, environmentally motivated subsidies and voluntary approaches used for environmental policy.

This dataset provides information on material resources, i.e. materials originating from natural resources that form the material basis of the economy: metals (ferrous, non-ferrous) non-metallic minerals (construction minerals, industrial minerals), biomass (wood, food) and fossil energy carriers.

Mineral and energy resources are one of the seven environmental assets considered in the System of Environmental Economic Accounting (SEEA, 2012). They are non-renewable resources which cannot be regenerated over a human timescale in spite of their prominent role in sustaining economic activities. From an economic, environmental and supply security perspective, it is therefore important to gather harmonised data on their rate of extraction and current availability.
