Google's nerd search engine

Image_000

Google Squared builds a table of facts for the search terms you enter.
It formats your search results in spreadsheet format, which immediately appeals to us data nerds.

The supreme geek search engine is still WolframAlpha which managed to invent its own category: the computational search engine.

Registered CDM projects per 2 September 2010

You can download any table on a website straight into Excel 2007 using the /data/from web option. I have downloaded all the registered CDM projects from the UNFCCC webpage and visualized them.
The request for review status applies to registration. There are big HFC projects now for which a request for review has been submitted.

IPCC emission factors tool

(download)

When you start using IPCC 2006 emission factors, you will see immediately that the units are unwieldy.

That's why I created this tool that allows you to select a fuel and get the emission factor in all the units you want.

You can also use the slider to set a generation efficiency for combustion.
In that case, the tool produces the tCO2/MWh that is related to generating power or heat at that efficiency.
