Emission factor summary

Emission intensity of residual mix in the US eGrid subregion as reported. Retrieved from the table "2023 Green-e Residual Mix Emissions Rates (2021 Data)" and the column "Adjusted System Mix (lbs/MWh) (12-month vintage)". This emission factor represents the electricity left after subtracting the clean / certified renewable energy and gives a more accurate picture of the emissions from the non-renewable part of the energy mix. NOTE: this value is provided in CO2 only and does not include the impact of other GHGs.
