Yes! In fact, many standards, such as the CDP’s GHG emissions, and the UK Government’s Streamlined Energy and Carbon Reporting Act specify you should use time specific and location specific emission factors if possible.

This depends on what data you need and how you would like to interact with it, so no two projects are exactly the same. Please reach out to us and we will make sure you can get exactly what you need in a way that works for you!

Everything. Carbon intensity, fuel mix and marginal intensity are all available for each region, every half an hour of the day. They are available historically, in real time and forecast for 24 hours in the future.

We are constantly working to make sure our data is the most accurate in the industry. We are always validating our models against metered and measured data so that we can provide accurate signals for decarbonisation.

Many of the data inputs we use are the same as those that go into the grid operations rooms of system operators. We use a combination of publicly available data, proprietary data that we have access to, and our cutting edge models to provide our customers with the most actionable carbon data possible.

In Great Britain, we break the data down into MSOAs (a census unit of about 5000 households), which means we have carbon data for 8000 regions in GB. We calculate a carbon intensity for each of these units every half an hour of the day; that's over 140,000,000 carbon signals per year. A similar level of granularity will be coming to the EU over the next year. Currently we offer half-hourly national resolution data for EU.

Yes! And potentially a very significant one. Carbon intensity is not about distance, but about grid connectivity, where  power is being generated and when. A few miles or minutes can mean the difference between CO2-free and high carbon power, and you can’t know that until you have data like ours.
