UnverifiedMarginal carbon intensity reflects the additional emissions triggered by the generating units activated by incremental electricity consumption, and is more instructive for users who wish to reduce emissions by shifting loads.73% similarUnverifiedIn grids dominated by coal power, the indirect carbon emissions of induction cooktops may be comparable to the direct emissions of gas stoves, but the carbon footprint of electric stoves continues to decline as the share of renewable energy increases.69% similarUnverifiedERCOT wholesale electricity prices frequently go negative during periods of abundant wind power, indirectly reflecting the ample supply of low-carbon electricity.66% similarUnverifiedThe UK's Ofgem is piloting a half-hourly settlement mechanism to bring electricity prices closer to real-time carbon intensity changes.63% similarUnverifiedAn open-source project discussed on Hacker News centers on measuring carbon-aware electricity prices daily across 38 electricity grids.60% similar
