I created this graph looking at the data in electricity maps by filtering for April and consumption.
Quite some differences there. It would be nice to have a view of how that “carbon intensity” level has evolved through the years, EU-wide. I’m tired of hearing that nobody does anything to tackle climate change.
Polska gurom🇮🇩💪💪
And then you’ll see some butthurt germans claiming their electricity production Is awesome and nuclear Is the devil.
Meanwhile they have 10* as France.
Let’s the downvotes begin.
Seeing Germany running as third really makes me question if shutting down their nuclear power plants while starting up coal plants really was such a smart move. Especially considering renewable capacities still can’t, and maybe won’t in the near future, cover demand. It seems just plain stupid and more like an ideological move rather than common sense.
Pred hrvati.
Good fing u shut off your nukes Germany, just use cloth instead of shower 💩
Wow, how is Sweden lower than Denmark, they have like half the population and very similar economies… right?
Almost twice as good as Czechs and as bonus we have access to the sea. Big numbers go brrrrr
Wtf Poland
Yeah Germany, well done on shutting down nuclear reactors. Way to go!
I had no idea differences were that massive… I knew Germany had unhealthy relationship with coal but i thought they were just somewhat worse than France, not nearly 10 times worse…
Many other figures are bad too. Some are partially explained by being screwed over by communism, others are just unlucky with not having water (which is bad for enviroment as well), but you would think they could make up for it a lot more with nuclear. Poland at least is planning a lot of nuclear, it just won’t enter into use until 2030s.
Btw Finland was planning for another powerful reactor (not as powerful as Olkiluoto 3, but still would have been second most powerful in Finland), but since it was with Russian company it got cancelled because of invasion.
You are doing us a favor with not including us.
Nice to be on top. wait… kurwa.
LOL Germany is the biggest polluter in the EU by far but folks here keep going through crazy mental gymnastics in order to gaslight everyone about that.
I love how Poland has double the pollution of Germany yet everyone blames Germany lol
Me from Poland dissing Germans for going away from nuclear:
That is only one aspect of electricity usage – the other is how much is used. France’s electricity is about 70% cleaner than Britain’s on a per GWh basis, but the average French person consumes about 50% more than the average Briton. That would make the French grid 42% cleaner overall, not the 70% that this statistic alone would show.
Imagine actually being outdone by Spain & even fucking Belgium lmao
This is unfair. Slovak carbon intensity production is half of what is shown here and we even export to southern countries. Unfortunately Czechs and Polish people are destroying our numbers since electricity is missing in Balkan countries and they export through us.

How is this measured? How do they calculate the carbon footprint of net importers?
Finally, Hungary isn’t the absolute worst at something.
1# 🇸🇪 Eurovision ✔️ 1# 🇸🇪 Low CO2-intensity ✔️
Now we just need that Icehockey gold… 😎
German factories in Poland be like ‘but, hey it’s Poland’s fault’ xd
The figure for the UK was 161, about the same level as Austria.
