CO2 Emissions from Public Electricity and Heat Production

Emissions data from public electricity generation, combined heat and power generation, and heat plants. The dataset is sourced from the International Energy Agency (IEA) and compiled by the CEOS_EXTRA organization. The last recorded update was in December 2004.

Use Cases

• Analyze trends in CO2 emissions from public electricity generation over time.
• Compare emissions contributions between public combined heat and power generation and public heat plants.
• Model the relationship between public utility activity and total CO2 output for IPCC Category 1 A 1 a.

Strengths

• Data is aligned with the IPCC Source/Sink Category 1 A 1 a, providing a standardized framework.
• Covers a defined scope including public electricity, combined heat and power, and heat plants.

Limitations

• Data is temporally stale, with the last update recorded in 2004.
• The specific geographic coverage, row count, and column details are unknown.
