The color value is misleading though, since it doesn't account for differences in energy consumption per unit of area. For example Belgium is very densely populated compared to France, so if for example both had the same gCO₂eq/kWh, Belgium would have higher CO₂ intensity per unit of area, but this map would color them the same.
- knuffelbert 6y agoOne of us is misunderstanding the map. My understanding the color is gram of CO2 (equivalent) per kWh, so not per area, but per unit of electricity consumed.
- scotty79 6y agoMap being a map suggests that some of the geographical information is factored into the displayed data. In case of this map it isn't. This map could be just a list of country names.
- icebraining 6y agoThere's one geographical information: the border flows of energy (Portugal imports from Spain, Spain from France, etc).
