  2. Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of energy sources

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_greenhouse_gas...

    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 ...

  3. Emission intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_intensity

    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).

  4. Gas-fired power plant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas-fired_power_plant

    Relatively efficient gas-fired power stations – such as those based on combined cycle gas turbines – emit about 450 grams (16 oz) of CO 2 per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated. [12] [13] This is about half that of coal-fired power stations but much more than nuclear power plants and renewable energy. [12]

  5. List of countries by carbon dioxide emissions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by...

    The following table lists the annual CO 2 emissions estimates (in kilotons of CO 2 per year) for the year 2023, as well as the change from the year 2000. [4] The data only consider carbon dioxide emissions from the burning of fossil fuels and cement manufacture, but not emissions from land use, land-use change and forestry.

  7. Climate Clock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_Clock

    An alternative view projects the time remaining to 2.0°C of warming. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The clock is updated every year to reflect the latest global CO 2 emissions trend and rate of climate warming. [ 1 ] On September 20, 2021, the clock was delayed to July 28, 2028, likely because of the COP26 Conference and the land protection by indigenous peoples.

  9. Environmental impact of electricity generation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental_impact_of...

    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]
