One of us is misunderstanding the map. My understanding the color is gram of CO2 (equivalent) per kWh, so not per area, but per unit of electricity consumed.

Map being a map suggests that some of the geographical information is factored into the displayed data.

In case of this map it isn't. This map could be just a list of country names.

There's one geographical information: the border flows of energy (Portugal imports from Spain, Spain from France, etc).
