Discussions…Germany is 10x worse CO2g/kWh than France.

• Archelaos 5y ago
  The factor for CO2g/kWh in 2017 is lower: between 6.0 and 7.3, depending on what exactly is measured.[1] However, the absolute numbers for Germany are declining fast as renewable energies are taking hold:[2] 2017: 485 2018: 471 2019: 408 (preliminary) 2020: 366 (estimated) (In a hurry, could not find newer numbers for France.) If one looks at the CO2 emissions per capita the gap is not so large. I could not find any new numbers for this either, but in 2018 the values of CO2 emissions in metric tons per capita were as follows:[3] France 5.0 Germany 9.1 For comparison: United States 16.1 If one looks at the timelines, the gap between France in Germany seems to close more or less fast/slowly everywhere.
