European Industrial Emissions (E
Annual releases of ~96 regulated pollutants (CO2, CH4, NOx, heavy metals, VOCs and more) to air, water and land from Europe's largest industrial complexes, broken down across 10 industrial sectors (energy, chemicals, metals, minerals, paper & wood, waste/wastewater, intensive livestock, food/beverage and more) and aggregated to clean country totals. From the EEA Industrial Reporting / E-PRTR database, 2007-present. GDPR-safe: national aggregates only, no facility-level personal data.

Built only from a named, redistributable official source under a documented open licence - not scraped web data. No copyright grey zone, no personal data. Ships machine-readable Croissant metadata (ML Commons - loads in Hugging Face / Kaggle / Google), an AI training-licence manifest documenting source, licence and provenance for your model's data governance, and a machine-readable data dictionary (drop it into an agent / RAG prompt so the model knows every column) - all inspectable before you buy.
What's included
- European countries × ~96 pollutants × air/water/land × 10 industrial sectors × 2007-present
- Sector breakdown per pollutant (energy, chemicals, metals, waste, livestock, …) plus totals
- Clean yearly national totals in kg - no facility-level wrangling
- GDPR-safe: country-level aggregates, zero personal/operator data
