DOWNLOAD the complete US Vulcan fossil fuel CO2 emissions inventory (gzipped) and the associated readme files. We have made available binary (double precision) and netCDF (single precision) formatted files on both our 10 x 10 km grid and on a 0.1 degree grid. Individual sectoral and total files are available.
Please note that these binary files are written as fortran "binary" files.
if you need another format or a particular sector, let us know.
