Impact calculations
This calculation tool provides a very simplified estimate of the carbon emission reductions resulting from switching to our solution. The estimate is based on annual average values for the electricity emission intensity in Denmark and does not take your company's consumption profile into account. Marginal effects from the replacement of fossil sources with renewable sources due to addition of the new solar park to the public grid are not included in the result. A refined version of the calculation tool is under development.
Data
Grid Emission Intensity
The emission intensity of the electricity mix on the Danish grid in 2020. Calculated using the 125%-method (read more at source)
Solar Emission Intensity
The emission intensity of solar parks taking the entire lifecycle of the plant into account. This number includes factors such as manufactoring and constuction of the solar plant.
Average citizen emissions
The average yearly emissions of a Danish citizen in 2018 (most recent value).
Method
Emissions grid mix
The emissions of a consumer using the grid mix.
consumption×grid emission intensity
Emissions solar
The emissions of a consumer using electricity from a solar park.
consumption×solar emission intensity
Reduction of emissions
Yearly reduction in emissions by switching from grid mix electricity to electricity from solar parks (as offered by Reel).
emissions grid mix−emissions solar
Citizens' emissions reduced
Yearly reductions in emissions converted to number of citizens' average emissions.
emissions reductions/avg. citizen emission
