title: Replication Data for: EPA FLIGHT data files

description: This submission includes data files released in response to FOIA request #2025-EPA-04342 made in the Summer of 2025. The release also included source code that is currently archived at: &lt;br /&gt;https://github.com/Public-Environmental-Data-Partners/FLIGHT_foia_code&lt;br /&gt;
Because the CSV files included in this release may well be useful to researchers without needing to go through the published interface, they are being archived here separately from the EPA code.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Note that, in addition to the csv files received in response to the FOIA request, this repository contains facility detail xml files for 115,000+ unique facility_id/year combinations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;b&gt;FLIGHT data represents "Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Data from Large Facilities" only and "does not reflect total U.S. GHG emissions."&lt;/b&gt; The official FLIGHT site is: &lt;br /&gt;
https://ghgdata.epa.gov/ghgp/main.do&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Various versions of EPA GHG data have been separately archived in multiple Dataverse entries. Try searching for GHG or go directly to this believed-to-be-comprehensive set of raw data files exported from the database: &lt;br /&gt;
