A study of nearly 500 global hydropower reservoirs using the G-res Tool published in Water Security and Climate Change: Hydropower Reservoir Greenhouse Gas Emissions (2021) found the median value for hydropower to be 23 gCO2-eq/kWh, which aligns with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) estimate of 24 gCO2-eq/kWh. Admits that wind power is actually less CO2 equivalent intensive than hydropower [1] [1] https://www.hydropower.org/blog/carbon-emissions-from-hydropower-reservoirs-facts-and-myths https://www.hydropower.org/blog/carbon-emissions-from-hydrop...
