Interested in knowing just how much carbon the UK is producing right now? Interested in understanding how this changes throughout the day based on how much everyone is using and how electricity is being produced at that moment in time?
I've been pointed towards a couple of websites recently that help answer these questions and are absolutely fascinating.
The first one tells you the carbon content of the UK grid right now (sampled at 5 minute intervals) and also tells you the source split at the time between fossil fuels, nuclear and renewables. The second provides a trend graph over time so that you can see how the carbon intensity changes over the day. I'm intrigued to know why 3.25 this afternoon suddenly had a peak for instance…
