Absolute and adjusted CO2 equivalent emissions data of EU regions' energy and heavy industry sectors
Description
The dataset includes data on absolute and adjusted CO2 equivalent emissions (i.e., total, per capita, and per unit of industrial gross value added) from energy and heavy industry sectors in 238 regions across 27 EU countries over a 13-year period (2008–2020).

Steps to reproduce
CO2 equivalent emissions data were sourced from the EU Emissions Trading System (ETS) registry at the installation level for the period 2008–2020. Data extraction was automated through a dedicated script, followed by consistency checks to ensure reliability; the resulting data were then aggregated to the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (NUTS) 2 level as defined by EUROSTAT. Demographic data on population (as of 1 January) and economic data on industrial gross value added (GVA, expressed in million euros) were obtained from EUROSTAT at the NUTS 2 level for the entire reference period and incorporated into the dataset. Changes in the NUTS 2 classification during the considered period required dataset harmonization and imputation techniques to address missing values.
