Carbon Intensity of Electricity per kWh

• This resource includes an interactive map and graphs that show carbon intensity of electricity per kWh, for countries in different parts of the world, starting from the year 2000.

Positives

• The interactive provides three different ways for students to explore data (chart, map, table).
• Students may choose to view datasets for various geographic locations and time periods.
• Related research and data are linked.
• The site explains how the data was collected.

Additional Prerequisites

• Educator would need time to get familiar with this interactive media and decide on how to implement it with the learners.

Differentiation

• There are other related interactive maps for other sources of electricity. 
• Can be used to create awareness about one or more of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The resource contains carbon intensity of electricity in specific countries. Datasets available for a variable time span from 2000-2020. The data output is accurate and students can visualize to understand countries that emit more CO₂ in the course of generating electricity.
