Hourly data of CO2 emissions related to Swiss electricity mix

Elliot Romano Senior Scientist

Abstract
A new methodology was developed to assess the CO2 emissions of Swiss electricity considering:
• High-temporal resolution of emission factors tied to consumed electricity in Switzerland.
• Methodology based on market mechanism in order to identify the cross-border power plants providing the Swiss electricity imports.
• Renewable share of consumed electricity based on physical flows, rather than commercial certificates (labels).

A website was created with detailed information and daily/hourly data: https://horocarbon.ch
