Converter - CSV to GeoJSON

CSV into geojson file convertor

Use this page to convert your CSV file into a geojson file. This should be always done when the data from the web map needs to be updated. To do that, please take into account following considerations:

The decimal numbers must be separated by a dot (.) instead of a comma (,).
E.g. when working with German computers, open the csv file with a text editor (other than excel) and replace every comma with a dot.
Before that, make sure that the CSV uses semicolons as a separator!
No thounsands separator should be used! (e.g. use "1000.00" instead of "1,000.00")
To read the data contained in the document correctly, please enter the information below regarding the columns headers and numbers in the CSV.
This is necessary, because the map uses fixed names and any changes in the original data file hinders a correct rendering of the data on the map.
You can test the resulting geojson file via several online solutions, e.g.: geojson.io
Please choose the separator of the columns in your csv.
Typically they are commas (,), but on German computers, it could be semicolons (;).
Please be aware of the value- and the decimal separator.

I have found the following types of industry in your CSV.

Please check whether they already match the column on the right, which are used for the map!
They should match identically!
In case of a field with a red background, the type of industry does not match with its counterpart of the right.
Please note that both columns are sorted alphabetically, which might be the reason, why they do not match.

The following entries do not contain information regarding Latitude/Longitude: There are entries.

The following entries either have no CO₂-emissions or no information regarding the emissions in the corresponding column. There are entries.

If the steps above do not work, you can alternatively use the following link, to convert the csv into a geojson file.
The solution provided with this website is a fallback, in case the link mentioned above does not provide the service anymore.
Please note, that the converted geojson still needs to match the types of industries, etc. which is done automatically by this website, here.

If you open the developer tools (F12) and open the console, you will get some useful information:

After converting the CSV, the console will tell you which rows could not be processed.
These non-processable rows mean, that they DO NOT contain any geo-information (latitude/longitude is missing) and are therefore omitted in the geojson-file.
After the conversion, you can either download the geojson-file directly (button will appear below, after you successfully converted the file)
or you can copy the resulting json file from the console ("copy object") and paste it into the existing geojson-file. Please note that the original name of the geojson-file must be used.
I suggest, that you "test" the functionality of the newly created geojson-file. For this, you can use the website mentioned above (geojson.io).
Also, the newly created geojson does not look very "readable" (just open the newly created file, and you'll see). So by copying it to this website (geojson.io) and testing it,you directly make it look more readable and you can then copy & paste it back to your file.
Please be aware that you should not rename the geojson file, because the map looks for "argentina_emissions.geojson"
Also, the location of the saved file is important. The geojson-file must be placed in the parent folder, together with the "index.html" and "main.js"

Unfortunately, the map is "hard-coded" regarding the number of industries and their naming.
It is therefore crucial, that the TYPE OF INDUSTRIEs used are named like this:
(The colors correspond to how they will be grouped/shown on the map) Ammonia Ethylene Methanol Aluminium Steel Cement Pulp and Paper Refinery Fossil Thermal Power Plant Biogas Power Plant Bioethanol Biomass Power Plant

Data structure of the last known CSV

The default values in the input fields were taken from the last CSV file (provided on Januar 18th, 2024).
Please override them, if you have changed the name or the order of the columns.

Name	Company	Type of industry	CO2 emissions [t]	Type of source	Location (city)	Provincia	Location (latitude)	Location (longitude)	Source CO2 emissions
