Monitoring the Dynamics of Global Energy Production with Alphacast
By Martina Mas(mmas@alphacast.io) Read more Alphacast Highlights here We are happy to introduce two new data sources to explore global energy trends. The first one is the Energy Institute which plays a privoral role in collecting, analyzing, and synthesizing extensive data related to the energy sector. With a focus on global insights, Energy Institute's datasets covers 154 countries. These resources grant access to crucial data on energy consumption and generation, carbon emissions, energy prices, and various other energy-related metrics. Secondly, the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA), the independent agency of the U.S. Department of Energy.
