The first stage of reducing emissions from electricity consumption is to understand current emissions. Clean Power Lab (CPL) helps businesses reduce GHG emissions arising from their use of electricity.
Emissions due to electricity use are known as Scope 2 emissions. Scope 2 emissions can be cut simply by using less electricity or by changing when electricity is consumed automatically.
Carbon Intensity:
Carbon Intensity:
Scope 2 emissions may also be reduced by decreasing the Carbon Intensity of consumed electricity. Electricity comes from a range of generators such as coal power stations, which cause high GHG emissions, and wind farms, which cause zero emissions. The Carbon Intensity of electricity is highly variable and depends on the mix of generators operating when electricity is consumed.

Scope 2 emissions can be significantly reduced by controlling when EVs are charged.

Insulation and other energy efficiency measures are most effective in regions with high carbon intensity.

Contactors, like the one illustrated above, can automatically switch electrical loads to minimize carbon emissions.

Daily Carbon Intensity Variations:
Daily Carbon Intensity Variations:
Carbon emissions from electricity are heavily dependent on when electricity is used. Changing time of consumption by a few hours can massively reduce emissions. Weekly and monthly variations can be much bigger than daily variations. A half-hourly carbon intensity forecast allows emissions to be minimized.
It is sometimes, incorrectly, thought that electricity supplied under a renewable electricity contract does not cause GHG emissions. Emissions actually depend on the physical connection of electricity generators and consumers – rather than the electricity supply contract.

How Clean Power Lab can help you
We help businesses understand and assess their current carbon emissions from electricity use. We can then develop a strategy for reducing these emissions whilst ensuring they operate effectively. Companies with multiple sites can significantly reduce their GHG emissions by targeting their energy efficiency investments at the optimum locations.
