Now, translating these #renewables percentages into CO2 intensity:

• #Croatia 242 gCO2eq/kWh https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/HR
• #Latvia 162 gCO2eq/kWh https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/LV
• #Norway 30 gCO2eq/kWh https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/NO
• #Austria 84 gCO2eq/kWh https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/AT
• #Portual 153 gCO2eq/kWh https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/PT

At the same time, #France is presented as “orange” with 32% renewables, but let’s look at its emissions:

• France 45 gCO2eq/kWh https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/FR

Interestingly, #Germany is presented as “green” with 55% renewables but:

• Germany 423 gCO2eq/kWh https://app.electricitymaps.com/zone/DE

So I think it’s important what is that what we’re really caring for - if your goal is sales of PV and wind, then their share is certainly an important metric. If you however care about decarbonisation, there seems to be zero correlation between share of renewables and reduction in CO2 emissions.
