Carbon emission allowance price vs Carbon intensity of electricity generation in European Union

Carbon emission allowance price (multi-month) and Carbon intensity of electricity generation (annual) in European Union. They are published at different intervals, so each is drawn on its own rather than matched period by period.

The series

Over time

European Union. Carbon emission allowance price is published as multi-month figures and carbon intensity of electricity generation as annual ones, so they are drawn on separate charts, and no period is matched between them. Read each on its own.

Shared periods

Side by side

No period lines up: carbon emission allowance price is multi-month and carbon intensity of electricity generation is annual. A month and a year are not the same measurement window, so no row pairs them.
