The 2000 Inventory is a comprehensive review of the anthropogenic (human caused) sources and sinks for greenhouse gases in Namibia. It is important to note that the inventory does not account for greenhouse gas emissions occurring 1) in other countries resulting from electricity imported to Namibia, 2) in Namibia, international open space or other countries resulting from international airplane flights to or from Namibia, or 3) in other countries resulting from the manufacture of consumer goods in other countries that are imported to Namibia. Some items, while not being included in the recorded total emissions/removal value, are quantified and presented as memo items. One example of a memo item is the amount of carbon dioxide emitted from the burning of biomass for residential cooking which, it is assumed, will be reabsorbed during the regrowth of biomass.
