What ? Unless you're talking about global consumption, at the time of writing this comment, 12% of our electricity production comes from gas (https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/FR https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/FR), and despite the situation being dogshit throughout Europe, the only countries cleaner than us at the moment are Norway (because shitloads of hydro and small country), Sweden (because small country and shitloads of nuclear) and Slovenia (because small country and shitloads of hydro). On a good day (read: when half of our nuclear reactors aren't busy being broken), we're at 40g eqCO2/kWh.
- zamadatix 4y agoI guess that's what I get for taking the front chart on Wikipedia at face value. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_France https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_in_France seems to have some weirdly adjusted chart generated by British Petroleum of all sources as the main image. I'm not even sure I understand what the heck the "inefficiency" factor they applied is supposed to be based on. Thanks for the correction.
- glumreaper 4y agoThat source would be from the bp statistical review of world energy, a widely quoted and surprisingly impartial collection of energy statistics. Charts and stats from that annual publication turn up all over the place. Disappointly, they're going to stop publishing it from next year.
