What the source says
Over the forecast period of 2025-2027, global CO2 intensity is expected to fall by an average of 3.6% annually, declining from 445 g CO2/kWh in 2024 to 400 g CO2/kWh in 2027.
Checked: the figure 445 g CO2/kWh is stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
