This blog post illustrates the challenges of validating marginal emissions factors, the discrepancies observed between different providers, and the implications of optimizing based on these factors.
According to a recently published study, optimizing based on marginal emissions factors may increase emissions from an average emissions factors' standpoint and the carbon footprint.
As part of our series on marginal signals, this article explores the use of marginal emissions factors for real-time decision-making in comparison to average emissions factors.
A number of stakeholders are promoting a shift in global Scope 2 carbon accounting rules towards a system based on marginal emission factors. Learn why “impact accounting” isn’t compatible with Scope 2 accounting.
Learn how our new renewable energy forecasts enable consumer electronics companies to build more engaging products that optimize energy use and empower their consumers to lower their carbon footprint daily.
Optimizing electricity usage on price can lead to higher emissions. What strategy to adopt to unlock cost and carbon savings of flexible electricity use?
Electricity Maps was created with the mission to enable a data-driven decarbonization of electricity. But what exactly does that mean? And how do we ensure we continuously contribute to fighting climate change?
In this blog post, we will discuss the latest advancements in our marginal technology, with the goal of assessing the immediate impact of a consumption change on the grid.
In this second article of our marginal emissions series, we document Electricity Maps’ journey of developing models to calculate marginal carbon intensity signals.
