Introduction

Since making detailed updates of EDGAR is a laborious effort, the EDGAR consortium decided to initiate a new so-called ‘Fast Track’ action to estimate recent global emissions at country level based on readily available data1. It is the aim to produce an annual update of the Fast Track emissions.

The Fast Track 2000 dataset comprises global anthropogenic emissions for the year 2000 of Kyoto Protocol greenhouse gases CO2, CH4, N2O, and F-gases (HFCs, PFCs and SF6) and of the air pollutants CO, NMVOC, NOx and SO2. The emissions data are presented as country/sector tables and as 1x1 degree grid files at the same level of detail as the EDGAR 3.2 emissions data have been published on the internet.
