What this measures
Higher low-carbon share; lower low-carbon share.
Unit: %. Share of electricity generation.
Methodology
Values are generation shares derived from Ember Yearly Electricity Data terawatt-hours by fuel, not Ember's pre-aggregated Clean, Renewables, or Fossil rows. Country rows are joined by ISO 3166-1 alpha-3; World, continent, EU, and other Ember aggregates are excluded. The headline metric is the low-carbon share (renewable plus nuclear). OurBlueDot renewable is wind, solar, hydro, and biomass; geothermal sits in other. 2025 is omitted because Ember currently publishes that year for a sparse country set. Map ranks are comparable-sample competition ranks among currently loaded countries.
