Consider adding EPA CAMPD facility inventory #158

As described in https://github.com/USEPA/ElectricityLCI/issues/207, annual facility-level emissions from EPA's Clean Air Markets Program Data are desired for building a life cycle inventory for U.S. electricity generation. The EPA provide a web-based portal (here) and an API to access this data. A method, build_cems_df is available to query the API for all the state-based facility-level annual emissions, here, which requires a user to register for an API key (here). For harmonization with other facility-level data, it would be nice to have this a part of StEWI.

is the json here: https://github.com/USEPA/ElectricityLCI/issues/207#issuecomment-1751075194 a pretty accurate estimate of what you anticipate the ultimate data looking like? If so, it would be quite similar to our eGRID facility data.

Seems like a reasonable candidate, I'll ask @WesIngwersen to chime in.

Yes, that one has been on the radar for awhile. Not something our team can support immediately except through connection with the Clean Air Markets Division (CAMD) data team to discuss the ideal approach (also might be a more ideal way to update eGRID). Please email with further planning inquiries/plans.

Yes. That's the data format we're working with.
