Before, the Swiss GO system was considering the CO2 emissions for GOs, but only those emitted during the production of electricity, not the whole life cycle of production. Now, electricity producers emitting Swiss GOs can present to their clients the CO2 ÂÂÂlife cycles of their electricity production.
The values to calculate the COÂ2 Âemissions of one GO are available here (excel file downloadable here).
This is a big shift in the Swiss GO policy and will impact its market, no doubt. Greenfact will, in the weeks to come, take into account this new variable into account when differentiating one Swiss GO from another.
