Energy Production/Use Data Access and Tools
NASA data on energy production and energy use span from estimated carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels to global nighttime electrical lights imagery. Our datasets and tools help researchers understand the scope, nature, and impact of producing and using energy on Earth.
