Typical: Solar 0.15-0.25, Wind 0.30-0.50
EU average: ~300-400 gCO₂/kWh
Methodology
Formula: Annual CO₂ avoided = Capacity (MW) × 8,760 hours × Capacity Factor × Baseline Intensity (gCO₂/kWh) / 1,000
Assumptions: Calculations assume displaced electricity from the baseline grid mix. Does not account for embodied carbon in manufacturing, curtailment, or degradation. Uncertainty band reflects typical variation in capacity factors and baseline intensity.
