@evan IIUC the federal dataset would be part of what is included in the National Inventory

@evan no leaps intended, I’m trying to understand the difference between the Inventory and the Federal dataset mentioned in the story.

“The federal dataset is built using a mix of modelling and real-life measurements regularly collected by Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) researchers from sites across the country. Those data include emissions from the entire oil and gas supply chain — from extraction to distribution to final use or export — to paint a really complete story,"

@evan thanks for the context above, I realized my knowledge gaps seeing your poll after reading that story yesterday.

@evan how does industry self-reporting fit into the inventory?
