Electricity Use and Carbon Emissions

Electricity emissions in Türkiye

The electricity-grid factor reflects the generation mix and changes over time. CarbonCAM identifies the source year and uses Türkiye's published 2023 distribution-grid consumption factor of 0.469 kg CO₂e/kWh for its appliance estimates.

Estimating appliance energy

Daily energy is estimated as wattage ÷ 1,000 × hours used. Multiplying daily kWh by the electricity factor gives estimated daily CO₂e. Label power is not the same as a meter reading, because real devices cycle and operate at different loads.

Reducing electricity emissions

  • Measure high-use appliances with a suitable meter.
  • Reduce unnecessary standby and operating time.
  • Choose efficient equipment when replacement is necessary.
  • Compare equivalent billing periods or meter readings before claiming savings.

Measure your carbon impact

Use CarbonCam to estimate appliance energy and emissions, complete daily tasks, and monitor your verified savings.
