The EDGAR consortium of JRC, MNP and MPIC is working on the further development of EDGAR, both updates for more recent years and addition of new compounds such as aerosols, in collaboration with the ACCENT and GEIA research groups, e.g. for air pollutants with IIASA and for black carbon with the group of Tami Bond. In order to produce more recent updates more regularly, the group has started a new so-called Fast Track action to estimate recent global emissions at country and grid level based on readily available data.
Moreover, the collaborating institutes will further enhance the website and aim at shifting the gridded datasets to a higher resolution of 0.5 by 0.5 degree.
We welcome the support and cooperation of other research groups to further expand the EDGAR datasets and to improve their quality by providing on-site access to the EDGAR system to include other datasets of emission factors and other grid maps, globally or regionally, and to assess the results. To contact the EDGAR team: edgar-info@mnp.nl.

EDGAR 2.0 provided global annual emissions for 1990 of greenhouse gases CO₂, CH₄ and N₂O and precursor gases CO, NO_x, NMVOC and SO₂, both per region and on a 1x1 degree grid. Similar inventories were compiled for a number of CFCs, halons and methyl bromide and methyl chloroform.
