Powertracer gives you insight into your carbon emissions intensity due to your energy usage, how amazing!

Take a look at the property below. In the CO2•e Meter view, Powertracer shows us that in one month, 73.501kg of carbon emissions were recorded. It also shows us the carbon emissions for each day in the month.

To access this CO2•e view simply click on CO2•e and then click on Meter.

Compare this to the CO2•e Trade view below where we can see the carbon emissions each day when clean energy trades that emit zero carbon have been executed. What a difference clean energy trading makes to the daily carbon emissions!

To access the CO2•e Trade view click on Trades.

To view just how much of an impact using clean energy has on carbon emissions, let’s look at a single day view on the 12th of December (below). In the CO2•e Trade view, we can see that all the carbon free day time energy is shown as zero - that’s zero carbon emissions! This is due to the property trading clean solar energy via peer-to-peer trades when solar energy is available.

Of course during the night and early morning unmatched energy supplied from the grid shows above as non-zero. The amounts you see are calculated using the emissions intensity factor for your state’s grid.

By trading clean energy using Powertracer, you can now see the positive impact you are having by reducing your electricity carbon emissions. By simply matching the source of your energy, at the time of clean energy generation you are playing your part by creating demand for clean energy, usually at a lower price. Powertracer unlocks the value of the source, time and price of clean energy for all consumers, large and small.

Don’t forget you can…

  • Change the date range to view your carbon emissions for any dates you wish

  • Click on a particular time period in the chart to drill down into smaller time intervals eg. click on one day to view each 30 minute interval during that day

  • Change the chart view between Wh, $ and CO2•e using the toggle buttons above the chart
