Method, sources & limitations

Plants backbone: WRI Global Power Plant Database (CC BY 4.0).
CO₂: Climate TRACE v6 (satellite-aided modelled estimates), US EPA GHGRP and EU ETS (reported), matched by location + fuzzy name. The co2_source column says which.
Limitations: modelled values are estimates, not audited stack measurements; coverage is best for large fossil plants; capacities are nameplate.
