[OC] The carbon intensity of electricity in the 48 largest producers, 2000-2024 — watch the grids turn green

Source: Our World in Data energy dataset, electricity figures from Ember (https://github.com/owid/energy-data)

Tools: R + ggplot2 (ragg, showtext).

Method: rows are the 48 countries with the largest electricity generation in 2023, sorted by their 2024 carbon intensity (cleanest at top). Each cell is that country's gCO2 emitted per kWh of electricity generated in that year. The diverging color scale is anchored at the 2024 world average (471 gCO2/kWh): teal = cleaner than today's world average, coral = dirtier. The right column gives the 2024 value.
