Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: liquefied natural gas exports is multi-month and carbon intensity of electricity generation is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.

Provenance

Where these numbers come from

Liquefied natural gas exports

Daily volume of liquefied natural gas exported by a facility or country.
