There are two key ways uncertainties can be introduced: the reporting of energy consumption, and the assumption of emissions factors (i.e. the carbon content) used for fuel burning. Since energy consumption is strongly related to economic and trade figures (which are typically monitored closely), uncertainties are typically low for energy ...

Instead, they purchase or generate enough renewable energy to match 100 percent or more of their electricity use over the course of the year. While 160 companies around the world have committed to use "100 percent renewable energy," that does not mean "100 percent carbon-free energy.". The difference will grow as power grids …

Other companies are looking at how to fund these offset programs; Shell offers Dutch consumers the possibility of paying to offset emissions from retail fuel. The cost of carbon sinks is uncertain; estimates range from $6 to $120 per tCO 2 e in 2030, depending on the source and the sequestration target. Any company can invest in offsets.

Abstract. Geothermal is commonly considered to be a clean, green energy source but it does produce some greenhouse gas emissions, particularly CO 2. The amount of CO 2 is usually measured as an emission intensity of kg of CO 2 emitted per MWh of electricity produced. However, the quantity that is measured for the calculation of …
