Comparing gas with electrical efficiency is not representing realistic end-to-end efficiencies wrt. co2 as long as the vas majority of electricity is generated

Comparing gas with electrical efficiency is not representing realistic end-to-end efficiencies wrt. co2 as long as the vas majority of electricity is generated from primary energy. Power plants tend to have efficiencies lower 50%.
- zwirbl 4y agoThe gas end-to-end "efficiency" will not improve drastically ever, while for an electrical stove it is tied to energy production. Arguing with end-to-end efficiencies and power plants is misleading, as I can power my induction stove from my solar panels
- Firmwarrior 4y agoThat's true, but I power mine from the municipal grid that burns stuff to make steam and then electricity
- ajnin 4y agoMight still be better as efficiency goes up with temperature and industrial generators can achieve much higher temperatures that what you can at home, and also include some clean sources of energy into the mix.
