eGRID
The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive inventory of environmental attributes for virtually all electric power generated in the United States. It provides detailed data on air emissions, generation, resource mix, and other key attributes for power plants across the nation. This resource supports environmental analysis, policy development, and public understanding of the electric power sector's impact.
The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID), maintained by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), offers a foundational dataset for understanding the environmental footprint of electricity generation in the United States.
This database includes crucial information such as air emissions for various pollutants, including nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide. It also details emissions rates, net generation figures, and the resource mix used by electric power plants.
eGRID serves as a vital resource for environmental research, policy formulation, and public information, enabling a deeper insight into the complexities of the U.S. electric power sector and its environmental consequences.
