The first daily reading above 420 ppm this year has appeared at the Mauna Loa CO2 observatory.

2. It is now 5:03 AM in Berlin; Germany's carbon intensity has fallen below 400 g CO2/kwh...

...for the first time over the last week that I've been checking. It's now 390 g CO2/kwh.

It seems to be a function of the fact that demand is low. Coal has fallen to 10.3 GW from the figures of around 25 - 26 GW I've observed frequently (but randomly) over the last week. Wind is producing 5.02 GW of power, with it's capacity utilization remaining in the single digit area, 7.84%. Solar is of course, before daybreak, producing zero all around.

Temperatures are rather mild in Berlin for winter, 5°C (41°F). The German contribution to climate change seems to have helped them a bit this evening.

Don't get comfortable with Energiewende though, I'm sure, unless the wind starts blowing, the Germans will be burning lots more coal over the next few days.

French electricity is at 103 g CO2/kwh.
