This open dataset places 8,413 power plants in continental Köppen-Geiger climate zones, totalling about 1,923,859 MW of capacity. Across the 705 with an asset-level CO₂ figure, emissions reach about 1,094 Mt CO₂/yr, at a median intensity of about 1,497 t CO₂ per MW of combustion capacity. The most common plant type in this zone is hydro.
Climate class: Köppen-Geiger (WorldClim). Backbone WRI Global Power Plant Database (CC BY 4.0).
CO₂ — measured (US EPA / EU ETS) or modelled (Climate TRACE), per source.
