Carbon Intensity

This is the measure of how much CO2 is emitted per unit of electricity generated. It reflects the environmental impact of electricity production in terms of CO2 emissions. Lower carbon intensity signifies a cleaner and more sustainable approach to generating electricity. This is achieved through a shift to low-carbon or carbon-free energy sources. Carbon intensity is a crucial step in addressing climate change and transitioning to a more sustainable energy future.
