Potentials and pitfalls around green claims of e-fuels: insights from an exploratory case study
This study uses a hypothetical e-methanol case to investigate (1) how accounting requirements of different policy regimes affect the accuracy of inventory emissions, and (2) how these reported values compare with emissions estimated under an impact-based accounting perspective.
Marginal
From power markets to reality: Does the marginal power plant really exist?
Indisputably, the marginal signal holds the theoretical power to represent emissions physically caused when more electricity is requested. However, this concept does not translate well to the reality of grid operations. It is trying to force a simplified picture onto an exceedingly complex system and is bound to be inaccurate because of that.
