Electricity Generation: Carbon Intensity and Composition

Posted on May 25, 2021 by climatechangefork

Two years ago (June 18, 2019), I discussed higher-education carbon emissions. This included the lists that organizations such as the Sierra Club made to rank campuses across the country by their emissions. We split emissions into three categories: Scope 1 … Continue reading →

Coal Intensity & Coal Consumption

Posted on October 30, 2019 by climatechangefork

Today I am continuing my series (which started October 15th) examining the early signs of the global energy transition. In the previous two blogs my emphasis was on use of primary energy and electricity. This week, I’m looking at coal … Continue reading →

Primary Energy: What Fraction Do We Use for Electricity Production?

Posted on October 22, 2019 by climatechangefork

Last week I looked at changes in electricity use (from 2000-2014), as a fraction of primary energy use, specifically as an early indicator of the energy transition to a more sustainable mix. I paid special attention to a group of … Continue reading →
