IG3IS Webinar Series (Q3-Q4, 2025): A national GHG emission monitoring system to support policy makers and modelling efforts in Spain - current status and achievements
(Europe/Zurich:
28 October 2025, 13:00 - 14:30)
Past event
Speakers:
Paula Castesana, Emissions modeling researcher, Atmospheric Composition Group, Earth Sciences Department, Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC), and Carlos Torres, Director of the Izaña Atmospheric Research Center - AEMET.
Overview:
The RESPIRE-CLIMATE (High-Resolution Air Emissions Systems to Support Modelling and Monitoring Efforts) project aims to develop and deploy a Spanish national CO2 and CH4 emissions monitoring system that combines information from high-resolution bottom-up inventories with observations derived from ground-based instruments. A dedicated web app has been produced to visualize and facilitate access to the resulting GHG emission products, serving the need for detailed GHG emission information at the national, sub-national, and urban levels. The results of RESPIRE-CLIMATE will support scientific and modeling efforts, such as inversion modeling and data assimilation, as well as inform decision-makers, helping to guide efforts in the design of effective mitigation policies. This project recently got endorsed by IG3IS.
