Share "green" data sources

arati_mejdal — Wed, 01 Sep 2021 15:45:12 GMT

Many of us in the JMP community are passionate about the environment, conservation and sustainability and would like to understand and analyze data related to these topics. But it's not always so easy to find good sources of data.

For this discussion, I ask you to share "green" data sources that everyone can use and explore. This can be a website, a JMP Public post with data attached, a data table, or something else. This will be helpful for bringing attention to important sustainability concerns highlighted by global environmental observances like Climate Week (coming the third week of September), Earth Day and World Environment Day.

I'll start off the discussion by sharing a JMP Public post by @Valerie_Nedbal about global warming in Germany. It has data attached.

Thanks for starting us off, @arati_mejdal!

I created this JMP Public Post based on data from the American Lung Association's 2021 State of the Air report. The data were only available in PDF format, but luckily JMP's PDF import tool worked very well for this.

Here's a data source I have not yet explored thoroughly: The EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program.

From their website: "EPA's Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program (GHGRP) tracks facility-level emissions from the largest sources of greenhouse gas emissions in the United States."

Here's my JMP Public Post, OECD Green Data for CO2 Emission and the data source is OECD.stat site. You can download csv data via this site.

And another good data source is Our World in Data. You can find several categories and energe/environment topic as well.

This is great, @DaeYun_Kim -- I love how you embedded your JMP Public post. Thanks for sharing this excellent data source. I've already spent an hour exploring it.

A few more sources I've run across recently:

EPA's Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks

US Energy Information Adminstration's Monthly Energy Review

California's Mandatory Greenhouse Gas Emissions Reporting
