Polysilicon price growth rate vs Carbon intensity of electricity generation in China

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

Over time

China. Polysilicon price growth rate 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: polysilicon price growth rate 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.

Provenance

Where these numbers come from

Polysilicon price growth rate

Percentage change in the wholesale market price of dense-grade polysilicon compared with the previous monitoring period.

3 observations charted in China · source organisations: NBS China

Carbon intensity of electricity generation

Emissions intensity of electricity generation, measured as greenhouse gas emissions in carbon dioxide equivalent (gCO2e) per kilowatt-hour of electricity generated.
