Original Province-Year Source Data for Biomass Energy Carbon Reduction Analysis in China, 2012–2023

The original records were obtained from multiple official statistical tables and reorganized into a unified dataset covering 31 mainland provincial-level administrative units from 2012 to 2023. The deposited dataset contains observations prior to biomass-resource classification, coefficient conversion, biomass energy carbon reduction calculation, variable transformation, interpolation, normalization, and model-specific preprocessing.

Blank cells indicate observations that were unavailable in the original statistical sources and should not be interpreted as zero. The workbook contains an English-language source-data sheet and an English data dictionary documenting the variable names, definitions, original units, data sources, source URL, and missing-value notation. This dataset supports the manuscript entitled “Spatiotemporal Evolution and Driving Mechanisms of Biomass Energy Carbon Reduction in China” submitted to Biomass and Bioenergy (Manuscript No. JBAB-D-26-01302).
