Inside the whitepaper

Electricity Maps provides a range of data for electricity grids worldwide with high spatial and temporal granularity. Besides a high granularity, Electricity Maps leverages the flow-tracing method to account for electricity flows across power grids and provide data with the highest accuracy. In particular, Electricity Maps’ carbon intensity, renewable energy percentage, and carbon-free energy percentage data can be used to calculate location-based emissions for scope 2 reporting.

This whitepaper introduces Electricity Maps’ methodology for electricity mix data, carbon intensity, renewable energy percentage, and carbon-free energy percentage signals. It validates Electricity Maps data against alternative sources, including worldwide sources (Ember, IEA), and authoritative regional sources (Eurostat) to demonstrate the validity and accuracy of Electricity Maps' methodology and data.
