Earth NotesApr 8

I am considering using more accurate (ie non-0) kgCO2e/kWh (lifetime amortised) #emissionsFactors for some #GB #FUELINST low-carbon #electricity #generation sources, eg #NPSHYD (hydro), #NUCLEAR, #WIND, in the EOU live #carbonIntensity calculator.

Is there a definitive source, or would (say) WIND=0.01, HYDRO=0.02 NUCLEAR=0.01 be a reasonable start?

@EarthOrgUK OWID is a good source which refers to other good sources:

What are the safest and cleanest sources of energy?

Fossil fuels are the dirtiest and most dangerous energy sources, while nuclear and modern renewable energy sources are vastly safer and cleaner.
