Electricity Map VS Website Carbon Calculator

Germany is absolutely not green, on https://app.electricitymaps.com/map you can see that it is always in the yellow, even when its wind production is maximum. Source: over 1 year ago

During the 2021-2022 winter french npp worked pretty much as usual, then both unplanned and regular maintenance requirement hit during spring, summer, and fall 2022. But for this winter 2022-2023 we are currently fine, we're exporting 10GW right now. And unless we have an abnormally cold end of January or February we will not require any import and will keep exporting a clean energy to our dirty neighbors. Source: over 1 year ago

That's also the method used in "real time" by Electricity Maps (https://app.electricitymaps.com/map). Uh, at the moment, German's emissions are over 6x the French emissions (261 vs 41 g/kWh)! What a success! Source: over 1 year ago

Could do better is right. We have ~36GW of installed wind capacity in UK, while Germany embarrasses us with 70GW! Source. Source: over 1 year ago

To stay on par with Website Carbon Calculator without spamming their API, the same functions happen locally This includes their calculations as well as their way of getting the amount transferred data (lighthouse). - Source: dev.to / over 2 years ago

Best of luck getting the word out there! PS: have you considered partnering with websitecarbon.com, since you link them? Source: over 2 years ago

Thanks for the link, exactly the sort of thing I was looking for. It's interesting they link to websitecarbon.com. Source: almost 3 years ago

The internet consumes a lot of electricity. 416.2TWh per year to be precise. To give you some perspective, that’s more than the entire United Kingdom. From data centers to transmission networks to the devices that we hold in our hands, it is all consuming electricity, and in turn producing carbon emissions. - Source: dev.to / about 3 years ago
