Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 46 rows came out of a blueprint — 19 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
  • Every entry represents a monthly carbon offset activity.
  • Offsets are quantified in metric tons of CO2 equivalent.
  • Source of offset (e.g., renewable energy, reforestation) is specified for each record.
  • Each offset is linked to a specific platform function or infrastructure (e.g., data center, content delivery).
  • Verification status (audited/external certified/internal estimate) must be included.
