First, the hard facts:

⚡ The CO2 monitor provides impetus for transparency, environmental protection and common industry standards.

⚡ This first prototype of the CO2 monitor provides real data and forecasts and offers versatile applications for industry, companies and private consumers.

⚡ From the  environmentally conscious alignment of electricity consumption to optimizing the charging behavior of electric vehicles - the CO2 monitor provides valuable data for a sustainable energy future.

The groundbreaking tool enables the well-founded calculation of the CO2 intensity in the German electricity mix in accordance with the requirements of the EU Renewable Energy Directive (RED III). This requires transmission system operators to provide data on the proportion of greenhouse gas emissions in the electricity supplied.

The CO2 monitor does not only show the actual, recalculated CO2 intensity but also a forecast of the expected CO2 share in the electricity mix for the following day. The CO2 monitor thus offers industrial companies and private consumers a wide range of application options to make their own electricity consumption more environmentally friendly and transparent. For example, private consumers can use the current and forecast CO2 share to adjust their electricity consumption to minimize emissions. The data can also be used, for example, to optimize the charging behavior of electric vehicles with regard to the CO2 share in the electricity mix. Companies can use the data to determine their carbon footprint and use it for sustainability reporting.

For our Digital Data Day Coffee Talk in October 2023, we visited FfE in Munich and discussed the importance of monitoring CO2 data. If you have missed the event, you can rewatch it here.
