Eco-sheet: 1 kWh generated using different energy sources

How sustainable is a kWh?

What is the best technology to produce it?

These questions are often asked and the answers are not clear-cut, as there are a lot of variables.

Therefore, Leonardo ENERGY has produced this eco-sheet to help clarifying the issue. The environmental burden of generating one kWh from 7 different energy sources is quantified. It shows that there is no silver bullet solution, but there are advantages to explore.
