What's on the map
Shows the share of this view's reported coal generation (and plant count) that has known coordinates and appears on the map. Plants without coordinates still count toward totals — they just can't be drawn.

A “coal plant” is any facility whose technology string matches this region's coal fuel-type filter. CO₂ estimates apply IPCC 2006 emission factors by (coal type × combustion technology), falling back to 0.95 tCO₂/MWh when metadata is unavailable.
