Emissions

Energy and emissions

NZ energy/Emissions

Transport and industry dominate energy-sector emissions; electricity emissions rise and fall with how much thermal plant runs in a given year.

The US site has no emissions page; its carbon intensity chart sits on the generation page and is repeated here. The rest is New Zealand only.

Carbon intensity of electricity production

Grams of CO₂ equivalent per kilowatt-hour generated, quarterly since 1990.

Carbon intensity of electricity generation

Grams of CO₂e per kWh generated, quarterly.
