Sector: Energy generation
Blog post providing descriptions of five different approaches being taken by cities around the world to reduce emissions and exposures to air pollution.
The toolkit’s purpose is to serve as a unified resource to enable public information officers to provide messaging related to air quality incidents throughout the Bay Area.
Aggregates emission and air quality data from agencies like the EPA, NOAA, and NASA.
This is a comprehensive tool that allows users to query, locate, and view GHG, criteria, and air toxics emissions. The tool includes maps, charts, and tables, and allows for visualization of trends over time. The tool allows users to display community vulnerability data. Maps and data are downloadable.
From the EPA website: "The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive source of data from EPA's Clean Air Power Sector Programs on the environmental characteristics of almost all electric power generated in the United States.
The data includes emissions, emission rates, generation, heat input, resource mix, and many other attributes. eGRID is typically used for greenhouse gas registries and inventories, carbon footprints for electricity purchases, consumer information disclosure, emission inventories and standards, power market changes, and avoided emission estimates."
Tool for mapping numbers of facilities and emissions at the census tract, county, and state level for Wisconsin. Also provides graphs of trends in emissions over time from 2015-2024.
Provide air quality data and insights that help people reduce their exposure to pollution.
Emissions inventories for multiple source sectors collected from state air quality agencies by the Environmental Integrity Project. Inventories are available for multiple years which differ across states. Links are also provided to state inventory websites.
VERDI is a Java program for visualizing meteorology, emissions, and air quality modeling data. With options for overlaying GIS Shapefiles and observational data onto model output, VERDI offers a range of options for viewing atmospheric modeling data. VERDI scripting provides a powerful interface for automating the production of graphics for analyzing your data.
