Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 82 rows came out of a blueprint — 14 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 unique agency-year combination.
  • Reported emissions must be measured in metric tons CO2e.
  • Progress percentage is calculated against annual reduction targets.
  • Include renewable energy adoption rates for each agency.
  • ESG score derived from multi-factor assessment (energy, waste, transport).
