The data presented on the BGCC website comes from the following sources:

1. [Global Energy Monitor's (GEM)](https://globalenergymonitor.org/) [Global Coal Plant Tracker (GCPT)](https://globalenergymonitor.org/projects/global-coal-plant-tracker/) and the accompanying GCPT status changes since 2015. GEM's GCPT dataset provides unit-level data and it is the basis for all calculations related to coal-plant capacity, status, technology and age.
2. Country-level coal phaseout strategies, country-level expected retirements and global emission pathways from [University of Maryland's (UMD)](https://www.umd.edu/) [Center for Global Sustainability (CGS)](https://cgs.umd.edu/). Datasets from UMD are outputs from published research, and are therefore mostly served as is with very few modifications for aesthetic purposes such as smooth interpolation.
