Utility Calculator

Engineering tools for thermal, CHP, and utility calculations.

Primary Tool

Emissions

Track live PJM generation mix, delivered grid carbon intensity, and compare electricity against onsite natural gas emissions assumptions.

PJM Grid Emissions

Live grid mix and carbon intensity from PJM through a server-side route, so the API key stays in Cloudflare.

Carbon intensity (delivered)
-lbs CO2e/MWh
Grid Mix with Emissions
No live grid mix data is available. The scenario comparison below still works with reference cases.

Natural Gas Customer Emissions

Constant assumptions: 1.035 MMBtu per MCF and 117 lb CO2 per MMBtu direct combustion.

Direct CO2 (combustion)117.0lb CO2/MMBtu
Methane upstream (CO2e)104.1lb CO2e/MMBtu
Total CO2e per MMBtu221.1lb CO2e/MMBtu
Total CO2e per MCF228.9lb CO2e/MCF
Total CO2e per thermal kWh0.754lb CO2e/kWh

Electric vs. Gas Comparison

Delivered grid emissions assume 5.00% transmission and distribution losses. Fuel-specific factors come from the engineering constants in lib/emissions.ts.
