Frequent Questions about the CAMD Re-engineering Effort

Power Sector Emissions, Operations, and Environmental Data

EPA’s Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) has monitored and collected emissions and operating data from power plants since 1990. CAMD has also gathered ambient data to track changes in the environment since the mid-1980s. Click on the images below to view information on the major data tools and resources available from the Clean Air Markets Programs.

For a recorded introduction to the suite of data and tools available from CAMD, please see the April 2020 AskCAMD slides  or recording.

CAMD's EmPOWER Air Data Challenge

Each academic year, CAMD hosts a challenge inviting researchers at universities or think tanks to submit innovative ideas for use of CAMD’s Power Sector Emissions data, Clean Air Status and Trends Network (CASTNET) data,  Long Term Monitoring Network (LTM) data, and Allowance Trading Program data.

Current Status: The application period for the 4th annual EmPOWER Air Data Challenge is now open! Applications are due June 14, 2022. Please visit the challenge webpage for more information.
