  2. Life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions of energy sources

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Life-cycle_greenhouse_gas...

    The findings are presented in units of global warming potential per unit of electrical energy generated by that source. The scale uses the global warming potential unit, the carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e), and the unit of electrical energy, the kilowatt hour (kWh). The goal of such assessments is to cover the full life of the source, from ...

  3. Emission intensity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emission_intensity

    An emission intensity (also carbon intensity or C.I.) is the emission rate of a given pollutant relative to the intensity of a specific activity, or an industrial production process; for example grams of carbon dioxide released per megajoule of energy produced, or the ratio of greenhouse gas emissions produced to gross domestic product (GDP).

  4. Cost of electricity by source - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cost_of_electricity_by_source

    The LCOE below is calculated based on a 30-year recovery period using a real after tax weighted average cost of capital (WACC) of 6.1%. For carbon intensive technologies 3 percentage points are added to the WACC. (This is approximately equivalent to a fee of $15 per metric ton of carbon dioxide CO 2.) Federal tax credits and various state and ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electricity_in_Great_Britain

    Following the unauthorised but successful short term parallelling of all regional grids by the night-time engineers on 29 October 1937, [23] by 1938 the grid was operating as a national system. By then, the growth in the number of electricity users was the fastest in the world, rising from three quarters of a million in 1920 to nine million in ...

  6. Emissions & Generation Resource Integrated Database

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emissions_&_Generation...

    The emissions information in eGRID include carbon dioxide (CO 2), nitrogen oxides (NO x), sulfur dioxide (SO 2), mercury (Hg), methane (CH 4), nitrous oxide (N 2 O), and carbon dioxide equivalent (CO 2 e). CO 2, CH 4, and N 2 O are greenhouse gases (GHG) that contribute to global warming or climate change.

  7. List of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and...

    This is a list of U.S. states and territories by carbon dioxide emissions for energy use, [1] [2] as well as per capita [3] [4] and by area. [5] The state with the highest total carbon dioxide emissions is Texas and the lowest is Vermont. The state with the highest per capita carbon dioxide emissions is Wyoming and the lowest is New York.

    A cogeneration plant in Berlin Gas generates over 20% of world electricity Share of electricity production from gas. A gas-fired power plant, sometimes referred to as gas-fired power station, natural gas power plant, or methane gas power plant, is a thermal power station that burns natural gas to generate electricity.

    Bitcoin is the least energy-efficient cryptocurrency, using 707.6 kilowatt-hours of electricity per transaction. [186] [187] [188] A study in 2015 investigated the global electricity usage that can be ascribed to Communication Technology (CT) between 2010 and 2030. Electricity usage from CT was divided into four principle categories: (i ...
