Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 120 rows came out of a blueprint — 31 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 manufacturing facility and reporting period.
  • Carbon emissions are measured in metric tons and must be derived from audited energy/fuel data.
  • Supplier emissions contributions must be quantified and separated from facility-level data.
  • Facilities must be classified by type (assembly, fabrication, packaging, etc).
  • Benchmark comparisons include industry average and best-in-class performance.
  • Data includes both operational and logistics-related emissions.
