The Global Emissions Database (GloED) is a user-friendly, menu-driven tool for storing and retrieving emissions factors and activity data on a country-specific basis. Data can be selected from databases resident within GloED and/or supplied by the user. The data are used to construct emissions scenarios for the countries and sources selected. References are linked to the data to ensure clear data pedigrees. The scenario outputs can be displayed on thematic global maps or other graphic outputs such as pie or bar charts. In addition, data files can be exported to a printer. The majority of the datasets are single gas (i.e., methane emissions datasets). Some of the datasets include emissions from several greenhouse gases. The sources included emission from: motor vehicles, landfills, minor CH{sub 4} sources, rice cultivation, fuelwood burning, global VOC, animal waste methane, animal enteric CH{sub 4}, domestic waste water, underground mines, biomass burning, and CH{sub 4} from oil and gas production. GloED is a software system designed as a tool to generate estimates of global emissions by combining pollutant-specific emission factors with quantitative data on emission-producing activities for that source. GloED also serves as a repository for emissions data, activity data, and emission factors.
