Electricity Carbon Calculator — EU-27 avg

Convert kWh into CO₂e on the EU-27 avg grid factor, with solar netting and tree-equivalents.

The EU average sits near 0.25 kg/kWh with enormous spread — France 0.06, Poland 0.7 — so country factors beat the bloc average. Enter monthly kWh (and any solar offset) for an instant Scope 2 figure with the assumptions visible.

Scope 2 = kWh × combined-margin grid factor. EU-27 avg's factor of 0.25 kg/kWh reflects its generation mix — coal-heavy grids run 0.6–0.8, hydro/nuclear grids under 0.1. The cheapest decarbonization for most businesses is attacking this line: efficiency first, then on-site solar.

Frequently asked questions

How much CO₂ does electricity produce per kWh?+

Depends on the grid: India ~0.716 kg/kWh (CEA), USA ~0.38, UK ~0.21, France ~0.06, global average ~0.48. The factor is the carbon recipe of the generation mix — this tool applies your region's published value and shows it openly.

Does rooftop solar really zero out my electricity emissions?+

Each solar kWh you consume displaces a grid kWh at the full grid factor — on India's grid, a 3 kW system avoids roughly 3 tonnes CO₂e yearly. The netting field shows it; market-based accounting also accepts green-tariff purchases and RECs with documentation.

Will my electricity footprint shrink automatically over time?+

Yes — grids decarbonize: the UK factor halved in a decade, India's is projected to fall steadily with renewable build-out. The sensitivity row shows your footprint at a halved factor. Efficiency still pays twice meanwhile: every kWh saved is rupees AND carbon today.

Location-based vs market-based — which does the Electricity Carbon Calculator — EU-27 avg compute?+

Location-based (regional grid average) — the universal default and the comparable number. If you buy green power contractually (green tariff, RECs, PPAs), market-based accounting may report lower; serious disclosures show both, per GHG Protocol Scope 2 guidance.
