Iceland's electrical grid has the lowest carbon intensity globally at 28 gCO₂/kWh, primarily due to its reliance on renewable sources, which account for 82.4% of its energy. Norway ranks second, with 50.6% of its electricity from alternative and nuclear energy, and 89.1% generated from hydroelectric sources.
Switzerland, with an energy efficiency of 0.51 kWh per $1 GDP, has a diverse energy portfolio, including 55.9% from hydroelectric dams. Sweden and France also show low carbon emissions, with Sweden at 34.8 gCO₂/kWh and France generating 46.7% of its electricity from alternative sources. The study underscores the challenges of replicating Iceland and Norway's models due to their unique natural resources.
