Epa Ghgrp Industrial Gas Facilities Data: Dataset Structure and Field Coverage

The Greenhouse Gas Reporting Program requires large US emission sources, fuel and industrial gas suppliers, and CO2 injection sites to report annually under 40 CFR Part 98. About 8,000 facilities file in a typical year across all sectors, and EPA publishes each reporting year every October - 2023 was the most recent public year at research time.

One structural quirk shapes everything you do with this data: suppliers report quantities supplied rather than emitted, so their rows show '---' or 'N/A' in the emissions column. The mass-balance numbers live in the bulk workbooks instead.

• 2023 data summary spreadsheet ZIP - multi-year and yearly spreadsheets of emissions by greenhouse gas and process.
• ghgp_data_parent_company.xlsb - each facility's parent companies and ownership percentages, the field that turns a facility list into a corporate exposure table.
• Unit/fuel-type ZIPs such as emissions_by_unit_and_fuel_type_c_d_aa.zip for combustion-level detail.
• l_o_freq_request_data.xlsx - the per-subpart workbook covering Fluorinated Gas Production (Subpart L) and HCFC-22/HFC-23 (Subpart O) across all years 2011-2023. Its Facility Overview sheet carries Reporting Year, Facility Id, FRS Id, facility name, full address fields, latitude, longitude, total emissions in mt CO2e and process questions; the 2023 sheet shows entries such as Airgas Therapeutics LLC - Scott Township in Plumsteadville, PA at 2,256.9 mt CO2e.

That Subpart L workbook is where supplier mass-balance figures live, so it is the file to reach for when the API's '---' emission column blocks an analysis.

Facility emissions read differently once output prices, company names and demand sit next to them. Four free companions do that job:

A fifth pairing reaches Europe: EIGA's Facts & Figures booklet aggregates the EU27 market - EUR 19.67 Bn in 2025 - but deliberately carries no plant rows, which is precisely the gap GHGRP fills on the US side.

1. Pull the universe. POST /list/facilities for supplierSector 41, 42 and 43 separately so importers, exporters and producers stay distinct; the 2023 importer leg alone returns 117 facilities.
2. Enrich identity. Call /facility/hover per facilityId for NAICS code, FRS id and coordinates, then join the parent-company XLSB to roll facilities up to corporates.
3. Get real quantities. Open l_o_freq_request_data.xlsx for Subpart L rows, since supplier list rows hide behind '---' in the emissions column.
4. Add price pressure. Join PCU325120325120 monthly values to your facility-years so volume conversations happen alongside output prices.
5. Extend abroad. Search data.europa.eu - about 1.9 million harvested records with 28 exact 'industrial gases' matches - or model demand with eGon's hourly CH4 and H2 profiles for roughly 400 German NUTS-3 regions.

Label provenance on every column: reported volumes, derived parent links, modelled scenarios. Reviewers forgive estimates; they do not forgive unlabeled ones.

Scope matters too. GHGRP covers the United States, its territories and tribal lands under mandatory Part 98 reporting; there is no European counterpart in this pool at facility level. For Europe, EIGA's booklet supplies market aggregates while its member companies directory and the CGA roster supply names - a deliberate trade of facility granularity for coverage.

Open with the industrial gases data guide for the full 17-dataset landscape in this industry, then go deeper on the two records doing the heaviest lifting here: the EPA GHGRP industrial gas supplier facilities page documents the exact API payload and workbook paths, and the BLS producer price index page covers PCU325120325120 retrieval step by step. For the company side of the screen, the Compressed Gas Association member directory pairs naturally with GHGRP's parent-company file.
