From source to product signal

Test a product idea in four steps

GHGRP publishes annual facility emissions for large U.S. reporters. Start with one state and one reporting year from Envirofacts. Reported totals are self-reported under the rule, cover large emitters rather than every source, and are not the EPA Inventory of U.S. Greenhouse Gas Emissions.

1

Check the setup

  • Python 3.10 or newer
  • A notebook environment such as Jupyter or Google Colab
  • An internet connection
2

Access the data

  1. 1.Open the GHGRP data sets page and note that Envirofacts can return JSON.
  2. 2.Query one state and keep facility name, latitude, longitude, and CO2e.
  3. 3.Record the reporting year used in the query.

Run the Python example

Install the packages, then run the notebook cell.

python -m pip install pandas requests

import pandas as pd
import requests

response = requests.get(
    "https://data.epa.gov/efservice/PUB_DIM_FACILITY/STATE/CO/JSON",
    timeout=60,
)
response.raise_for_status()
facilities = pd.DataFrame(response.json())
print(facilities.head())

Test a useful signal

Map Colorado GHGRP facilities

Test whether facility records can power a bounded industrial-emissions locator.

  1. 01Keep facility identifier, name, county, and coordinates from the bounded extract.
  2. 02Count reporters by county and list names missing coordinates.
  3. 03Explain that GHGRP covers large reporters for a reporting year and is not a complete emissions inventory.
