Informing urban climate planning with high resolution data: the Hestia fossil fuel CO₂ emissions for Baltimore, Maryland.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cities contribute more than 70% of global anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions and are leading the effort to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions through sustainable planning and development. However, urban greenhouse gas mitigation often relies on self-reported emissions estimates that may be incomplete and unverifiable via atmospheric monitoring of GHGs. We present the Hestia Scope 1 fossil fuel CO₂ (FFCO₂) emissions for the city of Baltimore, Maryland-a gridded annual and hourly emissions data product for 2010 through 2015 (Hestia-Baltimore v1.6). We also compare the Hestia-Baltimore emissions to overlapping Scope 1 FFCO₂ emissions in Baltimore's self-reported inventory for 2014.
