abstract = {We examine the representation of emissions from megacities
in three global anthropogenic emission inventories. Despite
the many common sources of data between the inventories, and
the similarities in their construction methodologies, there
are some very large differences (often a factor of two)
between the emissions for individual cities, even when the
total global emissions are very similar. We find that the
geographical distribution of the emissions within countries
plays a larger role in explaining the differences between
the inventories than differences in the country total
emissions. We also find very large differences between the
contribution of various sectors to the total emissions from
each city, and relate these differences to the respective
methodologies used in the inventory construction. By and
large, in OECD countries megacity emissions from the global
inventories are dominated by road transport, especially for
CO and to a lesser degree for NO,. In non-OECD countries,
notably in Asia, megacity CO emissions are dominated by
residential biofuel use, while industrial emissions
predominate for NO,. Non-methane hydrocarbon emissions in
OECD megacities are caused by industry and traffic, whereas
in non-OECD countries residential biofuel use makes
significant contributions. These emission signatures often
result from assumptions about the distribution of emissions
according to gridded population density maps rather than
according to the actual location of the emitting processes.
We recommend the use of an ensemble of inventories, that the
geographical distribution of emissions receives increased
attention, and that local inventories be integrated into
global emission inventories. (C) 2007 Published by Elsevier
