  9. Greenhouse gas emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions

    Greenhouse gas emissions are one of the environmental impacts of electricity generation. Measurement of life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions involves calculating the global warming potential (GWP) of energy sources through life-cycle assessment. These are usually sources of only electrical energy but sometimes sources of heat are evaluated. [197]
