Greenhouse gas inventories are emission inventories of greenhouse gas emissions that are developed for a variety of reasons. Scientists use inventories of natural and anthropogenic (human-caused) emissions as tools when developing atmospheric models. Policy makers use inventories to develop strategies and policies for emissions reductions and to track the progress of those policies.

Gg: Giga gram which equals 1000 ton

CO2: Carbon dioxide
CH4: Methane (1 ton of CH4 equivallent to 21 ton of CO2)
N2O: Nitrous oxide (1 ton of N2O equivallent to 310 ton of CO2)
