Live 24/7 CO₂ emissions of electricity consumption
app.electricitymaps.com
Electricity Maps is a live 24/7 visualization of where your electricity comes from and how much CO2 was emitted to produce it.

Let me know if this isnt appropriate for this community. Still new here, but I live in a place with a highly variable electricity grid.

Sometimes we’re running mostly on coal, othertimes a good amount of wind generation kicks in and our grid runs cleaner. I’ve been using this site as a means of tracking when our grid is running on more renewable resources in order to make decisions about energy use (mostly when to plug my car in).

Keep in mind, there is a certain amount of estimation and assumptions going on here but the site shows stats like current generation, use, percent renewable, co2 emission estimates, etc.

Thought it might be useful to folks. Theres an app too for those interested.

    Take a look at South Australia, the graphs are funny, that’s what happens when you have more Solar then you know what to do with

    Depending on where you are following the sources from this website and doing a bit of digging can get you more accurate data especially for things like local carbon gen.
