The carbon intensity of electricity may be 2.5 times that if gas but with a C0P (coefficent of performance or heat pump efficiency) of typically 2.2 to 2.5 this brings it back to thermal generating parity- but hang on even gas isn't 100% efficient- in fact as system (not a unit i.e. inc seasonal perfromance and circulation pumps etc) it is GHnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14798090.post-51541917322001297652010-07-27T23:50:51.263+01:002010-07-27T23:50:51.263+01:00Please can you confirm the source of the data/grap...Please can you confirm the source of the data/graph.

Maybe this is the difference between the SAP and Part-L figures. Without knowing this, then it's not an apples-to-apples comparison, future intensity or not.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04159273748602638912noreply@blogger.com
