Grid carbon intensity (gCO2e/kWh) by country and year, sourced from Ember's Yearly Electricity Data (CC BY 4.0).
The API returns grid carbon intensity data measured in grams of CO2 equivalent per kilowatt-hour (gCO2e/kWh) for various countries and years, sourced from Ember's Yearly Electricity Data.
The key fields in the response include "country" (country code), "year" (the year of data), "gco2_per_kwh" (carbon intensity value), and "source" (data source information).
The response data is structured in JSON format, containing key-value pairs for each field. For example, a response might look like: {"country": "DEU", "year": 2025, "gco2_per_kwh": 330.023, "source": "Ember Yearly Electricity Data (CC BY 4.0)"}.
The endpoint provides information on carbon intensity levels for different countries across various years, allowing users to analyze trends in carbon emissions related to electricity generation.
Typical use cases include environmental research, policy-making, energy sector analysis, and tracking progress towards carbon reduction goals in electricity generation.
Data accuracy is maintained through sourcing from Ember's Yearly Electricity Data, which is regularly updated and adheres to the CC BY 4.0 license, ensuring reliable and transparent data.
Users can customize their requests by specifying parameters such as the country code and year to retrieve specific carbon intensity data relevant to their needs.
Users can expect consistent data patterns, with carbon intensity values typically reflecting trends in energy production methods, such as increases or decreases in renewable energy usage over time.
