Information on greenhouse gas emissions from the world's power plants is surprisingly limited. Publicly available information such as exact location, fuel, and carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions varies in comprehensiveness and quality from country to country. A research group at Arizona State University (ASU) is attempting to solve this problem by leveraging crowdsourcing.
