Behind this dataset

Same schema. As many rows as you need.

These 75 rows came out of a blueprint — 21 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 transit route must include annual CO2 emission estimates.
  • Carbon offset actions require documented verification status.
  • Offset partners must be properly accredited.
  • Monthly progress updates are mandatory for all active plans.
  • Offset credits cannot be double-counted across different assets.
