US Power Sector Carbon Intensity Lower Than Ever
On April 4, 2018, Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems (MHPS) and Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) announced the release of the 2018 Carnegie Mellon Power Sector Carbon Index, at CMU Energy Week, hosted by the Wilton E. Scott Institute for Energy Innovation. The Index tracks the environmental performance of US power producers and compares current emissions to more than two decades of historical data collected nationwide. This release marks the one-year anniversary of the Index, developed as a new metric to track power sector carbon emissions performance trends.
