Emissions of air pollutants and emissions for other years will be available once they are finished. Capacity, age structure, and CO 2 emissions of global power plants in 2019 are provided at this moment. Compared to GPED v1.0, data from Global Energy Monitor and Electric Power Industry Statistic Compilation (China Electricity Council, 2017) were supplemented.

GID DISTRIBUTION SERIES

The GPED v1.1 includes a consistent time series of emissions and underlying information for global fossil fuel- and biomass-fired power plants by integrating several global and regional databases. It also provides capacity, age distribution, technology penetration, and fuel quality by country and by region.

The GPED v1.0 dataset provides number of units, fuel types, and emissions in 2010 for each power plant. The GPED v1.0 is based on the WEPP database (S&P Global Platts, 2020) to compile the basic operational information of generators, and replaced basic information and also added emissions data for plants operating in the U.S., China and India using the more comprehensive and reliable data contained in the regional databases eGRID (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2018), CPED (Liu et al., 2015 Tong et al., 2018) and ICPD (Lu et al., 20), respectively. The GPED v1.0 encompasses global generating plants that burn coal, oil, natural gas, biomass, or other fuels with their emissions of CO 2, SO 2, NO x and primary PM 2.5 as of 2010. Users can purchase the relevant database and merge with GPED to get complete information at plant level.

GID DISTRIBUTION LICENSE

For elementary information which is obtained from collaborators’ database and restricted by user’s license (e.g., WEPP), we provide cross-links to the original database. The GPED provides up-to-date elementary information and high-resolution emissions from global power plants, which includes plant-level, national, and regional capacity and age information, as well as anthropogenic emissions of CO 2 and various air pollutants (SO 2, NO x, primary PM, VOCs, CO, black carbon, and organic carbon). We compiled, combined, and harmonized the available data related to power-generating units burning coal, natural gas, oil, biomass or other fuels from database described above, and filled data gaps with modelled emissions. GPED is based on the integration of different global and regional power plant database such as World Electric Power Plants (WEPP) database (S&P Global Platts, 2020), Global Energy Monitor ( ), eGRID (United States Environmental Protection Agency, 2018), Electric Power Industry Statistic Compilation (China Electricity Council, 2017), and ICPD (Lu et al., 20). The GID-Power Emission Database (GPED) provides CO 2 and air pollutant emissions as well as underlying information of global fossil fuel- and biomass-burning power-generating plants.
