This website is targeted at carbon cycle scientists looking for information on, and results from, our atmospheric data assimilation system. To learn more about this, please follow the links to the documentation.

The figure below gives a visual summary of the natural carbon uptake, and fossil fuel emissions, of a number of key regions in the world. These numbers are reported in teragrams of carbon per year (TgC/yr) and averaged over the years 2001-2019. Negative numbers (green and yellow colors) indicate natural carbon uptake, while positive numbers (gold-orange colors) indicate net carbon release by the terrestrial biosphere. For example, the North American terrestrial biosphere has taken up 307 TgC/yr, and released 1733 TgC/yr from fossil fuel burning.

For a quick summary of the numbers derived with CarbonTracker Europe you can use the figure above, navigate to any of the items under the 'View' list on your left, or take a look at our regional summary table.

A comparison to other top-down CO₂ estimation efforts is found on the Global Carbon Atlas website.
