In 2004, JRC, MNP and MPIC have started a project to create fast (bi-)annual updates of the EDGAR global emission inventory system, based on the more detailed previous version 3.2. We first describe the key features of the Emission Database for Global Atmospheric Research, EDGAR 3, and then the compilation of recent global trends main influencing variables and the new ‘Fast Track’ approach to estimate recent emissions at a country-specific level. We present an overview of the approaches used for this ‘Fast Track’, the different source sectors and the accuracies achieved. Results will be available for 1995-2000 for various sources and greenhouse gases at regional and national scales, with a focus on the anthropogenic sources of methane.
