Code to analyse the carbon footprint of NZ & UK electricity generation over time.
Inspired by:
- Staffell 2017 (UK analysis)
- Khan et al, 2018 (NZ Analysis)
Started out as part of a CfS summer student scholarship project and has evolved into something slightly larger and more complicated :-)
Reports and results best viewed on github pages.
- GB wind/solar vs coal/gas generation mix over time (inspired by https://twitter.com/DrSimEvans/status/1508409309775994892)
- Analysis of GB generation mix and emissions during COVID19 2020 lockdown:
- Anderson, B., & James, P. (2021). Covid-19 lockdown: impacts on GB electricity demand and CO2 emissions. Buildings and Cities, 2(1), 134–149. DOI: http://doi.org/10.5334/bc.77
- Analysis of New Zealand electricity generation emissions (tl;dr: renewable ! necessarily = low emissions...)
