EU GHG Inventory Records — EEA

Keyless. Pay per record. Europe's national greenhouse-gas inventory — country, sector, gas, category, year — as one clean series.

This actor turns the European Environment Agency (EEA) EU Greenhouse Gas Inventory into clean, per-observation records — the national GHG inventory submissions that member states report and the EEA compiles. Each run reads the EEA's keyless DiscoData SQL service for the country you choose and delivers one row per country / sector / gas / category / year observation: the country, the inventory year, the sector and sector number, the gas, the measure and classification, the parameter and unit, and the reported value with its notation. Country / sector / gas / category / year observation grain, structured for engineering use, reusable with acknowledgement of the EEA, with no personal data of any kind.

What this is, in one paragraph

Every year, EU member states submit national greenhouse-gas inventories — how much of each gas each sector emitted or removed — and the EEA compiles them into a single dataset. This actor reads that dataset and flattens each observation into an analysis-ready record: the country and country code, the inventory year, the sector (Energy, Industrial Processes, Agriculture, LULUCF, Waste) and its IPCC sector number, the gas (CO₂, CH₄, N₂O, F-gases, aggregates), the measure (emissions, removals, activity) and classification, the parameter and unit, and the reported value with its reporting notation. Values are carried verbatim with their units, and a null value carrying a notation code (NO = not occurring, NE = not estimated, IE = included elsewhere) is preserved as exactly that — a reporting code, never a silent zero. It is the emissions-accounting layer of Europe's climate reporting. You are billed only for records actually delivered.

Who buys this and for what job

• Climate-analytics, ESG, and carbon-accounting teams building national and sectoral emission time series across Europe.
• Policy, research, and NGO products tracking emissions by gas and sector against targets.
• Sustainability-data and reporting platforms that need a clean, sourced European inventory feed.
• Data engineers who want the EEA GHG inventory as clean rows without writing SQL and joining the variable dimension by hand.

EEA licence — reuse with acknowledgement

One licence rider travels on every record. EEA data may be reused, including commercially, provided the source is acknowledged: "Source: European Environment Agency (EEA)." Where third-party content is marked, it keeps its own terms. The data is the national inventory as reported and compiled — not an independent verification of any country's figures.

Observation grain — no person data

The unit of every record is a country / sector / gas / category / year observation — a measurement, never a person. The dataset carries no natural-person fields; countries, sectors, gases, categories, units, and values are the entire payload, and a person-key guard runs on every record as a pure backstop.

A required partition — this is a multi-million-row dataset

The EU GHG Inventory is published as one very large observation table — over 21.4 million rows. This actor therefore requires a partition: every run must set a countryCode. The country bounds the run; there is no unbounded all-Europe pull. Optional year and gas filters narrow further, and maxRecords is the hard ceiling.

An unbilled RUN_RECEIPT records the robots check, the country/year/gas filters, rows matched and delivered, and whether charged equals delivered.

Field reference

Each record is one observation. Scope: country, country_code, and inventory_year. Category: sector, sector_number, gas, measure, and classification. Measurement: parameter, unit, value, and notation (the reporting code where a value is not a number). Key: variable_uid (the EEA variable identifier that ties the observation to its full category definition). Provenance: source, source_url, licence, attribution, disclaimer, and observed_at.

How a run works

A run first re-reads the source host's robots posture from your runtime — the EEA DiscoData host — and stops at the door if that ever changes. It pages the inventory value table filtered to your countryCode (and optional year), enriches each value with its variable's sector, gas, measure, classification, parameter, and unit, applies your optional gas filter, and flattens each observation to one record — carrying the value and notation verbatim — delivered before it is charged, so a blocked or empty run costs you nothing. The actor stops at your maxRecords ceiling and records charge_equals_delivered in the receipt.

Coverage and scope

The inventory spans the reporting countries and the full inventory time series, with 21.4 million+ observation rows in total. Because each record carries the country_code, inventory_year, sector, and gas, building a national or sectoral emission time series, or comparing gases within a sector, is straightforward. Pull one country, or one gas within a country, to seed an emissions warehouse.

Working with the inventory

The inventory is a time series waiting to be assembled, and the dimensions make it mechanical. Every record carries the country_code, inventory_year, sector, and gas, so a single filtered pull sorted by year reconstructs a sector's emission trajectory for a given gas, and the unit travels on every row so a downstream consumer never guesses a scale. The measure separates emissions from removals and activity data, so a LULUCF sink can be told from a source in a single filter, and the notation preserves the reporting reality — a "not estimated" cell stays distinguishable from a true zero, which matters for any honest total. Because the sector_number follows the IPCC classification, the dataset rolls cleanly from headline sectors down to sub-categories, and two country pulls can be diffed year over year to track progress against a baseline.

Cost guidance

One ghg_record per delivered observation: cost = rows delivered × your plan's per-record price. Always scope with countryCode and narrow with year and gas. 1,000 observations is $50 (Free) / $33.50 (Gold). These are very large per-country slices, so filter and cap deliberately.

Honest limitations

• As reported. Inventory figures are as submitted and compiled; this actor reformats and joins the category dimension, it does not verify or recompute.
• Partition required. Every run must set a countryCode.
• Notation is not zero. A null value with a notation code is a reporting code, preserved as such.
• No person data of any kind.

Differentiation

This is a net-new category for the NexGenData fleet, and it sits in a cross-fleet climate family that this listing names so buyers pick the right one. The NexGenData fleet already ships eurostat-ghg-sector-emissions (Eurostat's aggregated sector emissions — a different publisher and a different, more aggregated series) and the epa-ghgrp- family (US EPA facility-level greenhouse-gas reporting — a different jurisdiction and a facility grain). This cell is the EEA national-inventory series at country / sector / gas / category / year observation grain — the EU's official submitted inventory, distinct from the Eurostat aggregates and the US facility reports.
