Tracking Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions
Description
High-quality data for the greenhouse gas and air pollution emissions associated with electricity generation and consumption are increasingly important to enable effective and targeted action to decarbonize the electric grid and to inform research in a range of academic disciplines including environmental economics, lifecycle assessment, and environmental health.
This talk will provide an introduction into how power sector emissions are tracked today, why data on these emissions are important, and how our understanding of these emissions is evolving.
