Live CO2 emissions of electricity consumption

Shame it's still higher intensity than the UK at the moment (just)!

(And indeed my calcs don't quite match yours http://www.earth.org.uk/_gridCarbonIntensityGB.html anyway!)

They don't match mine either - https://electricityproduction.uk

Or http://www.gridcarbon.uk

For Germany as well: https://www.agora-energiewende.de/en/topics/-agothem-/Produk...

Its very likely because they only use projected production and use.

Calculations details are here: https://github.com/tmrowco/electricitymap#carbon-intensity-c... We use IPCC LCA data for the production mix, and use a coupled linear system of equations to take into account imports in a dynamic manner.

Generation data is realtime and comes from ENTSOE (https://transparency.entsoe.eu)

Very cool.

I'm using UK-specific carbon intensity values, and breaking down different uses of the same fuel (OCGT & CCGT). I've not baked in transmission loss yet. Our results are surprisingly similar though.
