eGRID data is presented as an Excel workbook with data worksheets and a table of contents. The eGRID workbook contains data at the unit, generator, and plant levels and aggregated data by state, power control area, eGRID subregion, NERC region, and U.S. The workbook also includes a worksheet that displays the grid gross loss (%).
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 ...
The life-cycle greenhouse-gas emissions of solar farms are less than 50 gram (g) per kilowatt-hour (kWh), [99] [100] [101] but with battery storage could be up to 150 g/kWh. [102] In contrast, a combined cycle gas-fired power plant without carbon capture and storage emits around 500 g/kWh, and a coal-fired power plant about 1000 g/kWh. [103]
However, the main disadvantage of measuring total national emissions is that it does not take population size into account. China has the largest CO 2 and GHG emissions in the world, but also the second largest population. Some argue that for a fair comparison, emissions should be analyzed in terms of the amount of CO 2 and GHG per capita. [11]
Chart was requested by User:Chidgk1 at the Graphics Lab Illustration Workshop; Uploader created chart manually, using Microsoft Excel to assemble the SVG code. Technical note: SVG code for charts like this can be automatically generated by the "Variable-width bar charts" spreadsheet linked at User:RCraig09/Excel to XML for SVG.
Turkey's coal-fired power stations are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions by Turkey at 103 Mt (about 20% of national emissions – see pie chart) in 2021. [39]: table 1.A(a)s1 cell G26 "solid fuels" Over a kilogram of CO 2 is emitted for every KWh of electricity generated in Turkey by coal-fired power stations.
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).
This pie chart illustrates both total emissions for each income group, and emissions per person within each income group. For example, the 10% with the highest incomes are responsible for half of carbon emissions, and its members emit an average of more than five times as much per person as members of the lowest half of the income scale.
