This map provides a comprehensive view of energy generation and emissions data for nearly all power plants in the U.S., with a focus on U.S. Native Lands. Utilizing data from the Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database (eGRID), this tool integrates average annual values for emissions, energy generation, and facility attributes to offer detailed insights into environmental impacts and energy dynamics. eGrid is a comprehensive source of data from EPA’sClean Air Power Sector Programs on the environmental characteristics of almost all electric power generated in the U.S.
The viewer highlights key variables such as total emissions (including CO2, SO2, N2O, NOx, and CH4), energy production (in megawatts), and the primary fuel sources of power plants. It also includes data on electricity transmission lines and summarizes emissions and power generation within a 20 km radius of each Native Land.
Users can interact with the map to explore the spatial distribution of power plants, their emissions, and energy generation. Clicking on specific power plants provides detailed information about their emissions and energy output. The summary dashboard offers a high-level view of energy and emission data across different regions.
To begin, click on a Native Land area to see a breakdown of power plant emissions and energy generation within a 20 km radius. This tool aids in analyzing the relationship between energy infrastructure and environmental impact, supporting informed decision-making and environmental assessments.
