Net Zero Business Podcast with Killian Daly

How Green is Your Green Electricity Tariff Really?

“The cleanliness of electricity really changes over time, and that is why we need to measure it in hours, not years“

This was the simple message coming from Killian’s chat with Gareth Kane on the Net Zero Business Podcast.

Really stripping it back to basics and exploring how annual averages don’t account for the differences between a sunny midday and an evening peak with ultra-clean times and dirty times. Our grids in the past were based on firm generation, which ran all the time, whereas renewables are changing that story – and our accounting and market mechanisms need to catch up.

They also explored LDES, hourly green energy tariffs, how the Greenhouse Gas Protocol is changing to reflect the reality of variable grid emissions, and how to get started making your claims more robust.
