Dataset on dynamic grid emissions considering regional variations of the energy mix in electricity grids for 2024

This dataset provides the average dynamic grid emission factors considering regional variations of the energy mix in electricity grids from multiple cities worldwide for 2024. The datasets from [1] were used to estimate the average dynamic grid emission factors in gCO2eq. Methodology from existing studies like [2,3] was used to create the table representing dynamic grid emission factors averaged by hours per day of each month. [1] Electricity Maps. (2024).
