- derriz 5y ago"Volatile" renewables absolutely do help reduce greenhouse gas emissions. As the renewables share of generation has been increasing, the CO2 intensity of electricity generation in Germany has dropped from 542gCO2/kWh in 2000 to 296gCO2/kWh in 2020[1]. Btw, your link brings me to a table on agricultural CO2 emissions?
