NYC Climate Budgeting Report: Forecasted Emission Factors for PM2.5 and CO2e

NYC Climate Budgeting Report: Emission Factors contains forecasted conversion factors for electricity generation and transportation. The dataset is used to convert activity data into particulate matter 2.5 (PM2.5) emissions and metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (mTCO2e). It is published by the City of New York and is scheduled for annual updates during the Executive Budget.

Use Cases

• Convert activity data to PM2.5 emissions using Conversion Value and Conversion Units.
• Forecast future emissions scenarios by analyzing trends across Forecast Year and Forecasted Year 2.
• Compare emission factor assumptions between different Scenarios and Sources for sensitivity analysis.

Strengths

• Linked to official NYC Climate Budgeting Technical Appendices for methodological detail.
• Scheduled for annual updates, with a last update timestamp of 2026-05-15 20:21:10.
• Includes multiple forecast years (Forecast Year, Forecasted Year 2) for time-series analysis.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
