CO2 Savings
The energy mix in Germany consists of very different energy producers and changes every year. At the moment, CO2 emissions amount to approx. 550-600g CO2 per produced kilowatt-hour (kWh) electricity. These numbers may vary widely abroad. For example in France this value is only 80g/kWh due to the high proportion of nuclear power. Waste disposal is not taken into account in these calculations, however.
As an international company, COLEXON focuses on comparable values and avoids vague calculation methods. Therefore, we’ve adjusted the calculation of CO2 savings:
COLEXON describes the value of the CO2 savings as the amount of CO2 that a recent coal-fired power plant would emit per produced kWh electricity. This value is around 1000g/kWh.
This substantiates the fact that using renewable energies avoids producing energy with environmentally harmful processes.
COLEXON’s reference data shows CO2 savings for each plant.
