How it works
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 where electricity is consumed.
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.
Carbon emissions from electricity depend on where power is consumed. The map shows North American electricity regions.

Carbon emissions from electricity depend on where power is consumed. The map above shows North American electricity regions.

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

Installing renewable electricity generation is most effective in regions where carbon intensity is high.

New developments should be located in regions with low carbon intensity.
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.

Moving consumption from 20:00 to 02:30 reduces GHG emissions by 85%
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.
