If you have questions or recommendations related to this metadata entry and extracted data, please contact the CAFE Data Management team at: climatecafe@bu.edu "The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive inventory of environmental attributes of electric power systems. The preeminent source of air emission data for the electric power sector, eGRID is based on available plant-specific data for all U.S. electricity generating plants that provide power to the electric grid and report data to the U.S. government. eGRID uses data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) Forms EIA-860 and EIA-923 and EPA’s Clean Air Power Sector Program Data. Emission data from EPA are carefully integrated with generation data from EIA to produce useful values like pounds of emissions per megawatt-hour of electricity generation (lb/MWh), which allows direct comparison of the environmental attributes of electricity generation. eGRID also provides aggregated data by state, U.S. total, and by three different sets of electric grid boundaries (i.e., balancing authority area, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) region, and eGRID subregion)." [Quote from https://www.epa.gov/egrid/frequent-questions-about-egrid#egrid1]
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.

The Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID) is a comprehensive source of data on characteristics of almost all electric power generated in the United States. This data includes capacity; heat input; net generation; associated air emissions of nitrogen oxides, sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and mercury; emissions rates; resource mix (i.e., generation by fuel type); nonbaseload calculations; line losses (a.k.a., grid gross loss); and many other attributes. The data is provided at the unit and generator levels, as well as, aggregated to the plant, state, balancing authority, eGRID subregion, NERC region, and US levels. As of January 2025, the available editions of eGRID contain data for years 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2016, 2014, 2012, 2010, 2009, 2007, 2005, 2004, and 1996 through 2000.
This dataset contain records factors for emissions and releases of chemicals to air, water and ground, waste generation, from electricity generation, All values are per megawatt-hour (MWh) of eletricity generated at power plants or other generating facilities. Subregion is an acronym of a U.S. EPA eGRID subregion. See https://www.epa.gov/egrid FlowName, Context, and Unit are defined as they are in the Flow table format specification for the U.S. EPA Standardized Inventories (StEWI) tool. https://github.com/USEPA/standardizedinventories/blob/master/format%20specs/Flow.md FlowName is the name of the chemical, waste, input or product. Chemical (context is air, water or ground) use the nomenclature of the Federal LCA Commons Elementary Flow List. Wastes use the names for waste code descriptions from the 2017 RCRA Biennial Waste Report. There are also "Heat" input and "Steam" co-product output factors. These names and data come from the eGRID 2016 database. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Ghosh, T., W.W. Ingwersen, M. Jamieson, T.R. Hawkins, S. Cashman, T. Hottle, A.

Monthly average hourly CO2, NOx, and SO2 emission factors for each U.S. eGRID subregion. This project utilized GridViewTM, an electric grid dispatch software package, to estimate hourly emission factors for all of the eGRID subregions in the continental United States. These factors took into account electricity imports and exports across the eGRID subregion boundary, and included estimated transmission and distribution (T) losses. Emission types accounted for included carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).Data reported as part of this project include hourly average, minimum, and maximum emission factors by month; that is, the average, minimum, and maximum emission factor for the same hour of each day in a month. Please note that the data are reported in lbs/MWh, where the MWh value reported is site electricity use (the actual electricity used at the building) and the pounds of emissions reported are the emissions created at the generator to meet the building load, including transmission and distribution losses. The demand profiles used to generate the data pertain to the following years: eastern interconnect - 2005; Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) - 2008; Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) - 2008.
Hydro Quebec dataset on the factors of direct emission of greenhouse gases from energy sources in Quebec's import and export markets. Updated annually. ## Method Data from public sources external to the company is extracted and compiled. Direct greenhouse gas emission factors are presented for each of the energy sources on an external market from which Quebec can import energy or to which it can export energy. Power plants powered by renewable sources of energy do not produce direct GHG emissions. Sources of GHG emissions by fossil fuel power plants: * Quebec: https://www.hydroquebec.com/data/developpement-durable/pdf/d-5647-etiquette-metrique2021-fr-vf.pdf * Ontario: values calculated retroactively from the following sites of the Independent Electricity System Operator (SIERE): https://www.ieso.ca/-/media/Files/IESO/Document-Library/gas-phase-out/Decarbonization-and-Ontarios-Electricity-System.ashx and https://www.ieso.ca/en/Corporate-IESO/Media/Year-End-Data#yearenddata * State of New York, New York England, MISO and PJM: https://www.epa.gov/egrid The values of GHG emissions from electricity generation in New York State, New England and by the MISO and PJM organizations are calculated from the GHG emissions from power plants published in the EPA's eGrid database (https://www.epa.gov/egrid). The values of GHG emissions from electricity generation in New Brunswick and Ontario are respectively from the federal government (https://www.cer-rec.gc.ca/en/data-analysis/energy-markets/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles/provincial-territorial-energy-profiles-new-brunswick.html) and from the IESO. All these values differ from the values recommended by the Regulations Amending the Regulations Amending the Regulations on the Mandatory Reporting of Certain Contaminants into the Air (RDOECA). ## Additional Information * Geographic Coverage: North-East America * Instructions and conditions of use: The data provided is raw, without guarantee of quality and may change without notice.

Emissions from energy use in buildings are usually estimated on an annual basis using annual average multipliers. Using annual numbers provides a reasonable estimation of emissions, but it provides no indication of the temporal nature of the emissions. Therefore, there is no way of understanding the impact on emissions from load shifting and peak shaving technologies such as thermal energy storage, on-site renewable energy, and demand control.
This project utilized GridViewTM, an electric grid dispatch software package, to estimate hourly emission factors for all of the eGRID subregions in the continental United States. These factors took into account electricity imports and exports across the eGRID subregion boundary, and included estimated transmission and distribution (T) losses. Emission types accounted for included carbon dioxide (CO2), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and sulfur dioxide (SO2).Data reported as part of this project include hourly average, minimum, and maximum emission factors by month; that is, the average, minimum, and maximum emission factor for the same hour of each day in a month. Please note that the data are reported in lbs/MWh, where the MWh value reported is site electricity use (the actual electricity used at the building) and the pounds of emissions reported are the emissions created at the generator to meet the building load, including transmission and distribution losses. The demand profiles used to generate the data pertain to the following years: eastern interconnect - 2005; Electricity Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT) - 2008; Western Electricity Coordinating Council (WECC) - 2008.

The Facility Registry Service (FRS) identifies and geospatially locates facilities, sites or places subject to environmental regulations or of environmental interest. Using vigorous verification and data management procedures, FRS integrates facility data from EPA's national program systems, other federal agencies, and State and tribal master facility records and provides EPA with a centrally managed, single source of comprehensive and authoritative information on facilities. This data set contains the FRS facilities that link to the programs listed above once the program data has been integrated into the FRS database. Additional information on FRS is available at the EPA website https://www.epa.gov/enviro/facility-registry-service-frs. Included in this package are a file geodatabase, Esri ArcMap map document and an XML file of this metadata record. Full FGDC metadata records for each layer are contained in the database.

The preeminent source of air emission data for the electric power sector, eGRID is based on available plant-specific data for all U.S. electricity generating plants that provide power to the electric grid and report data to the U.S. government. eGRID uses data from the Energy Information Administration (EIA) Forms EIA-860 and EIA-923 and EPA’s Clean Air Power Sector Program Data. Emission data from EPA are carefully integrated with generation data from EIA to produce useful values like pounds of emissions per megawatt-hour of electricity generation (lb/MWh), which allows direct comparison of the environmental attributes of electricity generation. eGRID also provides aggregated data by state, U.S. total, and by three different sets of electric grid boundaries (i.e., balancing authority area, North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC) region, and eGRID subregion)."
