Project Eligibility

Energy Generation

This methodology covers a broad range of renewable energy sources. The aim is to encompass all forms of renewable energy that can contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and the transition to a sustainable energy system.

This includes but is not limited to:

• wind

• solar

• hydro

• geothermal

• bioenergy

• nuclear

Energy Carriers

Utility batteries are assessed even though they do not generate power directly. The net emissions of their operation are associated with the power discharge.

• Utility Battery Storage

• Hydrogen Production

Loads and Power Consumption

This methodology also applies to power consumers as a way to calculate induced emissions. Savings from demand-side management or other energy efficiency upgrades could also be quantified under this methodology.

Geographic Areas Covered

This methodology is designed to be applicable globally, taking into account the specific characteristics and conditions of different regions. Below is the WattTime zonal emissions coverage map.
