How much carbon-market pressure
surrounds this site?

Every EU ETS installation reports verified emissions and free allowances to the Union Registry (EUTL) every year. It's public. The official registry tells you one installation at a time — nobody turns it into one comparable number for an address, ranked against every other installation in the same sector (allocation policy differs wildly by sector, so a raw cross-sector ranking would be comparing policy, not pressure) — until now.

What this number means

Every EU ETS installation has a pressurePercentile: its rank, within its own NACE sector, on the ratio of verified emissions to freely allocated allowances for 2023 (the latest year with verified data reported) — 0 = deep within its free allowance, 100 = had to buy the most extra allowances on the carbon market relative to sector peers. The percentile is computed inside each sector, never across sectors: EU policy hands out free allowances very differently by sector (power plants get almost none by design, heavy industry gets generous allocations to avoid carbon leakage), so a raw national ranking would mostly measure allocation policy, not actual carbon-market pressure — verified on this dataset: before the sector split, every power plant nationally clustered at the top regardless of how it actually performed. The AreaCarbonScore shown here is a distance-weighted average of every such installation within the search radius: closer installations count more (weight = 1 / distance²).

Limits, stated first. Only installations covered by the EU ETS — large power and industrial sites — not every polluting facility. Sectors with fewer than 5 comparable installations are excluded (percentile not meaningful on that small a sample). Only 31.7% of installations carry a direct Legal Entity Identifier in this dataset; the rest would need a GLEIF name-match to resolve to a corporate group (not yet done — shown as "—" here). The underlying registry data is a periodic bulk export, not a live feed — the generation date is shown above.
