sci.avoided-emissions-renewable Calculator
Calculates avoided greenhouse gas emissions from renewable energy displacing grid electricity, based on grid carbon intensity and generation volume. Avoided emissions = generation (MWh) × grid emission factor (kgCO₂/MWh) — a 1 MW solar farm in a coal-heavy grid avoids ~800 tonnes CO₂/year.
Inputs
Renewable Capacity Kw
Maximum throughput or storage. Operating near 100% capacity typically increases failures and wait times.
Capacity Factor Pct
Maximum throughput or storage. Operating near 100% capacity typically increases failures and wait times.
Grid Emission Factor G Kwh
A multiplier applied in the calculation.
Project Life Years
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
Results
annual generation (MWh)
The result expressed on a per-year basis.
annual CO₂ avoided (tonnes)
The result expressed on a per-year basis.
lifetime CO₂ avoided (tonnes)
The computed duration or time value.
equivalent cars off road
Sample size or count used in the calculation.
grid emission factor varies
A dimensionless multiplier applied in the calculation.
LCOE competitive
Reference formula or conversion factor shown for context.
