Revealing Mechanistic Processes in Gas-Diffusion Electrodes During CO2 Reduction to CO/Formate.

[John ONeill]

1. CAISO

This website, started by a 17 year old Danish kid, summarises the daily output of CAISO, but also of about a hundred other grids, ranging from whole countries down to little islands like supposedly 100% renewable El Hierro, in the Canary Islands. It conveniently computes the carbon footprint average for each point of the day, with a percentage of 'renewable' and 'non-renewable' (ie nuclear) non fossil generation. I've linked Kyushu, partly because my niece is living there, and also because it shows pretty dramatically what the effect on emissions is of all the solar built there since 2011, compared to the two reactors which have still been permitted to run. Actually, the bell curve for solar is usually a lot taller, but they have some nasty weather going through. Cleanest countries are, of course, the hydro and nuclear ones. https://www.electricitymap.org/zone/JP-KY?wind=false&solar=false
