Electricity impact factors

Factors modeled from electricity mixes and lifecycle references. Available periods may include carried-forward or estimated values.

The ‘Renewables only’ variant (‘-green’ files) keeps bioenergy, hydro, solar and wind, then recalculates their shares to total 100%. Impact factors are calculated from this hypothetical mix. This scenario describes neither the territory’s actual mix nor a green electricity offer, and its impacts are not zero.

Field dictionary

JSON structure: territory → period → indicators; world level: period → indicators. CSV exposes these keys as columns.
