Electricity and market vs. location-based emissions

Implementation by Carbon+Alt+Delete

For the AiB, the implementation on the market and location based mixes looks like:

Mix
Market-Based
Location-based

Country average mix

Supplier Mix

Production Mix

Residual mix (no green electricity contract)

Residual Mix

Production Mix

Green electricity contract

Set to 0

Production Mix

Production mix is the only data in the AIB source that does not use Guarantees of Origin (GOs); and therefore the only one that does not use market mechanism (=good for location-based). Supplier Mix considers the average mix in a country taking into account GO trades, so that is a good reference for Country Average - Market based.

Residual mix is per definition the energy left in a country after GO's are taken into account (after Green electricity is sold off). So that is Grey - Market based per definition.

Green electricity is set to 0 per definition.
