Fossil fuel energy production (HOLAS 2)
Short description
The dataset contains the location of fossil fuel energy production facilities derived from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR). E-PRTR cover all HELCOM Contracting Parties except Russia. Attribute specification and units: See E-PRTR code lists at https://www.eionet.europa.eu/schemas/eprtr/listOfValues In the HELCOM data review process, some facility locations appeared to be spatially slightly misplaced, adding up to uncertainty of data products derived from this dataset.

Lineage
The dataset contains the location of fossil fuel energy production facilities downloaded from the European Pollutant Release and Transfer Register (E-PRTR, http://www.eea.europa.eu/data-and-maps/data/member-states-reporting-art-7-under-the-european-pollutant-release-and-transfer-register-e-prtr-regulation-12). The data was selected from E-PRTR Energy sector (Sector 1) based on attributes of “Main activity: Combustion installations > 50 MW' and 'Thermal power stations and other combustion installations'” The dataset was created to be used in the HELCOM Baltic Sea Impact Index (BSII) for the HELCOM Second Holistic Assessment of the Ecosystem health of the Baltic Sea. The dataset was approved by all HELCOM Contracting Parties in the HOLAS II Human activities data review process during first quarter of 2017.
