How it is computed
Ember emissions intensity, total generation, from the Emission factors dataset on this site. visualizedata.org computes the indicator for every place and year; the full table, the map and each place's history are on its page there. The underlying data, with its source and license, is on the dataset page, with the API and downloads.
