Notes:

1 - Only years since 2011 are depicted, but some sources, like EPA CEMS, are available many years back. For LCI sources, which can be constructed from multiple dates, the target year is used.

2 - The amount of Canadian imports is available for the years specified but the fraction of each type of generator in the Canadian regions is based on 2016 only.

3 - The inventories for these technologies are based on data from the year 2016. For example, the inventory for wind farm x is calculated using the turbines that existed in 2016. However, so long as the same plants exist in other years in the EIA 923 data, that inventory can be re-used and applied to different years.
