The national greenhouse gases (GHG) emission inventory was published by the Ministry of Environment and Water Malaysia (KASA) in the Malaysia Forth Biennial Update Report to the UNFCCC. The emission mostly shows steady and sharp rise in the amount of GHG emissions except the emission of carbon dioxide (CO2) from the sectors of Agriculture & Land Use. The emissions of CO2 peaked in 2019 from the Energy sectors (239458.25 Gg). The highest emissions of N2O are recorded in the year of 2014 (21.35 Gg) from Agriculture & Land Use sector. Industry sector emitted the highest amount of Perfluorocarbon (PCF) in 2019 (4.976.28 Gg).
The dataset was extracted directly from the report of UNFCCC prepared by the Ministry of Environment and Water (KASA). The data recorded the emissions of greenhouse gases in Malaysia from 1990 to 2016 from the sectors of Industry, Energy, Waste, Agriculture & Land Use. There was a total of 856 data recorded.
