Global emission data are provided in a range of inventories. The [[EDGAR database]] ([[JRC/PBL, 2012]]) was preferred for IMAGE because of its high level of detail and the similar sectoral and regional definitions. Alternative inventories include the database underlying the RAINS/GAINS system, the RETRO database and the RCP database ([[Lamarque et al., 2010]]).

An overview of available inventories by Granier ([[Granier, 2011|2011]]) has shown large differences between the databases for carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxide and black carbon on global and regional scales. Most emission factors for land-use emissions are based on {{abbrTemplate|IPCC}} methodologies and parameters ([[IPCC, 2006]]) | ||

IMAGE covers almost all emission sources and gases within a consistent framework, based on a few international data sets and authoritative sources. However, some specific emissions are only included as a group, without the underlying production processes. Even more importantly, IMAGE does not include emissions from peat and peat fires, although they constitute an important source of air pollutants and CO2 emissions ([[IPCC, | IMAGE covers almost all emission sources and gases within a consistent framework, based on a few international data sets and authoritative sources.
