facilities

Earlier this month the European Environment Agency (EEA) gave access to information on emissions from European industrial facilities. Included are annual data for 91 substances and more than 24 000 facilities in 65 economic activities.

The around 3600 greenhouse gas emitting facilities are now searchable here at ExploreOurPla.net. The initial view lists the 100 top emitter of carbon dioxyde. In 2007 most CO2 has been relased in 50129 Bergheim, Germany by the RWE Power AG - 31300 megatons.

Details about the reporting process are described in the guidance document.
