How can we reduce carbon emissions? Seems like an impossible task, right? Maybe we should ask Sweden or France 😅

@gpt why is the carbon intensity of electricity produced extremely low in France and Sweden? Do they use renewables or outsource?

Nuclear ☢️ at least for France 🇫🇷

France and Sweden have low carbon intensity in electricity production primarily due to their use of nuclear power, which doesn't emit CO2 during operation. France gets about 70% of its electricity from nuclear energy. Sweden also uses a mix of hydroelectric power and wind energy, supplementing its nuclear energy.

Our energy mix looks like this, and there are a few reasons for this: 1. Our advantage with hydro, lots of strong rivers, and coast line for wind (can also be stored or easily increased / decreased (intermittent) instead of using coal + having a a strong nuclear baseline which means less FF overall to sustain base line) 2. Our energy grid is quite robust though far from perfect -> moving between different regions is feasable and more viable for intermittent sources 3. Looking from this though, fossil fuels are still bigger than all of the rest combined, which makes me wonder if the carbon used for exported is excluded, but I don't think so. Sorry for my rant as a former civengineer ;)

No, that would have the opposite result. They use nuclear.

Most of the electricity in France is produced using nuclear power, which must be considered a low carbon emitter in this study.
