The Vulcan Project

The Vulcan Project is a multiagency funded effort to quantify North American fossil-fuel-carbon-dioxide emissions (FFCO₂) at finer space and time scales in order to better quantify the North American carbon budget and provide better inverse estimates of carbon sources and sinks. This enables decision makers and stakeholders to have a detailed quantitative understanding of the FFCO₂-emitting landscape. The newest data is available at 1km x 1km spatial resolutions and hourly temporal resolutions.
