Low Carbon Share
Low carbon share is the percentage of electricity generated from sources that emit little or no CO2 while running: nuclear, hydro, wind, solar, bioenergy and geothermal. It is broader than "renewable share", because it also counts nuclear power, which produces almost no direct emissions but is not usually classed as renewable. World Power Monitor caps it at 100%, because Ember occasionally reports a small negative share for another fuel that would otherwise push the total past it.
Worked Example
58% of Germany's electricity came from low carbon sources in 2025. See the full figures.
