Understanding Carbon intensity and Emission factor Carbon intensity refers to the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions produced per unit of a specific activity, product, or economic output. It is typically measured in units such as kilograms of CO2 per megawatt-hour (kg/MWh) for electricity generation or metric tons of CO2 per unit of GDP for economic activities. Carbon intensity is a crucial metric for assessing and comparing the environmental impact of different processes, technologies, industries, or regions. Lower carbon intensity indicates a more environmentally friendly and sustainable operation, while higher carbon intensity suggests a greater carbon footprint and potential environmental harm. Efforts to reduce carbon intensity often involve adopting cleaner and more energy-efficient technologies, increasing the use of renewable energy sources, improving energy efficiency, and implementing carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies to mitigate the impact of ...
