Ontario’s electricity is much cleaner than Germany’s. Here is a comparison of the carbon content per unit of electricity, from 2011: It is important to note that Germany’s 2011 CIPK of roughly 540 grams is based on CO2 emissions of…

Why are Ontario electricity carbon emissions so low? Introducing the CIPK: the most important number in clean electricity
What is the most important number in clean electricity? It is the carbon intensity per kilowatt-hour (CIPK): the total amount of carbon dioxide, or CO2, in metric tons, emitted by the emitting generators feeding the grid, divided by the total amount of electricity generated, in kilowatt-hours.
