GridCarbon

Track the carbon intensity of the GB electricity grid on your smartphone/tablet.

The demand for electricity in Great Britain varies throughout the day, and thus, the mix of generators supplying this electricity continually changes. As a result, the carbon intensity of the electricity (the quantity of CO2 produced for 1 kWh of electricity consumed) also varies continually. Deferring your use of electricity to off-peak times, when the carbon intensity is low, can help reduce your carbon footprint.
