Shame it's still higher intensity than the UK at the moment (just)! (And indeed my calcs don't quite match yours http://www.earth.org.uk/_gridCarbonIntensityGB

- jasoncartwright 9y agoThey don't match mine either - https://electricityproduction.uk https://electricityproduction.uk Or http://www.gridcarbon.uk http://www.gridcarbon.uk

- corradio 9y agoCalculations details are here: https://github.com/tmrowco/electricitymap#carbon-intensity-calculation-and-data-source https://github.com/tmrowco/electricitymap#carbon-intensity-c... We use IPCC LCA data for the production mix, and use a coupled linear system of equations to take into account imports in a dynamic manner. Generation data is realtime and comes from ENTSOE (https://transparency.entsoe.eu https://transparency.entsoe.eu)
- jasoncartwright 9y agoVery cool. I'm using UK-specific carbon intensity values, and breaking down different uses of the same fuel (OCGT & CCGT). I've not baked in transmission loss yet. Our results are surprisingly similar though.
