Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 75 rows came out of a blueprint — 20 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 monthly record for a unique energy supplier.
  • Offset amount (metric tons) must be a positive number.
  • Carbon offset type (renewable, reforestation, technology) required per record.
  • Supplier must have an active license status for inclusion.
  • Offset verification agency must be specified.
