EOM Carbon Data Dictionary

Every field Emsurge captures across the Emstream market-data feed and the carbon project record — with its provenance and whether it is available programmatically over the API.

Primary — captured & owned by Emsurge Curated — pre-filled from allied APIs, Emsurge-reviewed & editable Registry — sourced from registry feeds

Emsurge primary data — our differentiators

These fields are captured and maintained by Emsurge and are not available from registries or allied data APIs. They are what makes the EOM dataset distinctive — in particular the removals / reduction labelling, the full CORSIA Phase 1 (CP1) eligibility set, and Article 6 status with Letters of Authorisation.
