Carbon Intensity
Carbon intensity measures the grams of CO₂ emitted per kWh of electricity consumed and provides real-time insight into the carbon impact of grid electricity. It enables organisations to align operational decisions with actual grid emissions performance by using live data, historical trends, generation mix information, and forward forecasts. This allows you to quantify emissions impact, compare regional performance, and schedule energy-intensive activities during lower-carbon periods. Our Make Custom App connects directly to the official carbon intensity data source, enabling automated data retrieval, emissions-based workflow triggers, and seamless integration of carbon metrics into dashboards, reports, and operational systems, giving you a structured and scalable way to embed carbon intelligence into your automation environment without added technical complexity.
