Renewable Vs Nuclear Energy Generation (1965-)

Context

An environmentally sustainable power sector is central to modern society since plants have significant impact on climate, through carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions; on water stress, through water withdrawal and consumption; and on air quality, through sulfur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx), and particulate matter (PM) emissions.

The datasets used in this project is publicly accessible in Our World in Data and Word Resources Institute. Datasets contains the following characteristics and indicators:

• All types of fuel
• Technical characteristics (fuel, technology, ownership)
• Plants’ geolocation
• Energy production/consumption (per capita) around the globe since 1965
• Annual change in primary energy consumption
