Total emissions data produced by NEMED is given as both absolute total emissions (tCO2-e) and as an emissions intensity index (tCO2-e/MWh). Marginal emissions data reflects the price setter of a particular region, yielding an emissions intensity index (tCO2-e/MWh) corresponding to a particular plant.\nAlthough data is published by AEMO via the [Carbon Dioxide Equivalent Intensity Index (CDEII) Procedure](https://www.aemo.com.au/energy-systems/electricity/national-electricity-market-nem/market-operations/settlements-and-payments/settlements/carbon-dioxide-equivalent-intensity-index) this only reflects a daily summary for each region by total and (average) emissions intensity.\n\n### How does NEMED calculate emissions?\nTotal Emissions are computed by considering 5-minute generation dispatch data for each generator in the NEM for each respective region, along with their CO2-equivalent emissions factors per unit (generator) level. A detailed method of the process to produce results for total emissions(tCO2-e) and the corresponding emisssions intensities can be found [here](https://nemed.readthedocs.io/en/latest/method.html). The tool is able to provide these metrics on a dispatch interval basis, or aggregated to hourly, daily, monthly or yearly measures. For more advanced users, the emissions associated with each generator and hence that generator's contribution to total regional emissions can be extracted.\n\nMarginal Emissions are computed by identifying the marginally dispatched generators from AEMO's Price Setter files, mapping emissions intensity metrics mentioned above and computing marginal emissions intensity (tCO2-e/MWh).\n\n### How accurate is NEMED?\nA series of [benchmark results](https://nemed.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/cdeii_benchmark.html) for total emissions shows a comparison between AEMO's daily CDEII reported emissions figures and NEMED's emissions figures which have been aggregated from a 5-minute dispatch-interval resolution to a daily basis.   \n\nThe [example](https://nemed.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/cdeii_benchmark.html) includes a region by region comparison for each metric, while an overview of the historical NEM Emissions Intensity produced using NEMED is shown here.\n![NEM Emissions Intensity](./docs/source/examples/charts_benchmark/intensity_NEM.png)\n\n## Usage\n\n### Examples\nExamples can be found in [NEMED's documentation](https://nemed.readthedocs.io/en/latest/examples/total_emissions.html).\n\n### Possible Use Cases\nSome example use cases of data produced from this tool include:\n- Analysis of historical emissions between NEM regions, generation technologies contributions to them and assessing the difference between total and marginal emissions.\n- Using emissions intensities traces (total and marginal) from NEMED in counter-factual optimisation models; studying the influence of shadow-pricing carbon or imposing carbon constraints.\n- Considering the emissions assosciated with grid-energy consumption for residential/C\u0026I consumers, or in counterfactual studies of hypothetical EV usage or H2 electrolyser operation. \n\n## Contributing\nInterested in contributing?
