Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 125 rows came out of a blueprint — 25 columns with generation rules behind each one. Open it in Data Factory to retune a column, add your own, wire in foreign keys, and run it at the size you actually need.

Rules it was built with
  • Each row represents a distinct shipment or batch within the supply chain.
  • Emissions calculated per segment (farm, processing, transport, distribution) using standardized conversion factors.
  • Include only traceable, completed supply chain events.
  • Flag any batch exceeding defined emission threshold for review.
  • Shipments missing key emission data must be excluded.
