Today, regulators still accept national average emission factors. But electricity systems are becoming increasingly local, variable, and renewable-driven. And carbon accounting standards are evolving accordingly.
Electricity grids are no longer uniform. As renewable generation rises, carbon intensity now varies by location and by hour. Yet most Scope 2 emissions reporting still relies on national annual averages that flatten these differences and mask real carbon exposure.
Rising share of intermittent renewables
Increasing spatial differences across grids
GHG Protocol promoting local and hourly matching
Nodera provides a local, time-resolved carbon intensity signal by identifying to which substation your site is connected, and measuring the carbon content of electricity on the associated local distribution network.
Explore our carbon intensity data →Move beyond annual national averages with hourly, location-specific carbon factors, designed to align with the GHG Protocol’s direction toward local and hourly matching.
Organizations can anticipate high- and low-carbon periods and integrate this insight into scheduled or automated processes, from IT workloads to industrial operations, across multiple industries.
Carbon-aware flexibility, combined with optimized electricity contracts,turns electricity consumption into a lever for decarbonization, and translates into tangible financial value.
