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.
A deep dive into Europe grid interconnection and how it got impacted by various factors, including weather, prices, policy, and geopolitics, between 2021 and the end of H1 2023.
In the second quarter of 2023, wind and solar have generated more electricity than fossil fuels in the European Union. Will this continue to be the case throughout 2023?
On the value of using granular electricity data to optimise urban mobility: FUSE,
A quantification of emission savings for electric vehicles in the city of Frederiksberg.
Carbon emissions can be calculated based on flow-traced or production-only data. This blog post highlights why flow-traced carbon intensity must be used for higher accuracy.
Both private and corporate electricity consumers have the ability to procure clean electricity with the ambition to fund the energy transition. However, do all purchases lead to tangible reductions in emissions?
In 2022, electricity consumption in Europe decreased by 4% compared to 2021 levels. This is due to a mild winter, sobriety efforts, but also high prices during the energy crisis following the invasion of Ukraine.
In 2022, total average electricity consumption increased in the United States by 4% compared to 2021. This is in particular due to several severe weather events. Learn more in the blog post.
During the Christmas period, storm Elliott hit the US with freezing temperatures. This had a great impact on some of the US power grids. This resulted in record high demand as well as tons of extra CO2 emitted.
Today, we’re launching a new improvement to Electricity Maps which will improve the precision of our carbon emission data. Learn more about regional emissions, and the methodology behind it, in this blog post:
