The findings are presented in units of global warming potential per unit of electrical energy generated by that source. The scale uses the global warming potential unit, the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), and the unit of electrical energy, the kilowatt hour (kWh). The goal of such assessments is to cover the full life of the source, from ...
In 2021 Latvia had just 66 MW of wind energy capacity, with no wind farms being built since 2012. [ 10 ] In 2022 a wind farm is in the initial planning stage to be located in the Gulf of Riga , Latvia having rejected the idea of working with Estonia on a nearby project, the new plan is expected to supply 1 GW of clean wind energy, which would ...
They are measured in carbon dioxide-equivalents over a 100-year timescale. [ n 2 ] The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) 6th assessment report finds that the "Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU)" sector on average, accounted for 13–21% of global total anthropogenic GHG emissions in the period 2010–2019.

The Waverly Wind Farm is a wind powered electricity generation project in Kansas owned and operated by EDP Renewables. This site is located near Waverly, in Coffey County. The wind farm consists of 95 wind turbines over 25 square miles, generating up to 199 MW. [2] It consists of 90 Siemens Gamesa 2.1MW and 5 Gamesa 2MW turbines. [1]
An emission intensity (also carbon intensity or C.I.) is the emission rate of a given pollutant relative to the intensity of a specific activity, or an industrial production process; for example grams of carbon dioxide released per megajoule of energy produced, or the ratio of greenhouse gas emissions produced to gross domestic product (GDP).
Accordingly, a proportion of the CO 2 produced and reported in Asia and Africa is for the production of goods consumed in Europe and North America. [14] Greenhouse gases (GHG) – primarily carbon dioxide but also others, including methane and chlorofluorocarbons – trap heat in the atmosphere, leading to global warming.
This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions for energy use, [1] [2] as well as per capita [3] [4] and by area. [5] The state with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas and the lowest is Vermont. The state with the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions is Wyoming and the lowest is New York.
