How we count the numbers
Every claim on this page rests on a documented calculation.
Guyana’s grid intensity, today
Counted at the national grid intensity published by Guyana Power & Light.
Avoided CO₂, from real kilometres
Each electric kilometre is compared with the same trip in an average fuel-powered taxi, and the difference is counted as avoided CO₂.
We also show the total as rainforest trees, at about 30 kg CO₂ per tree per year.
Why the fleet is electric
No petrol fleet to convert later.

Questions about the electric fleet
Tailpipe emissions are zero on every trip. Well-to-wheel emissions use Guyana's grid factor and the car's kWh per kilometre.
All-electric Tesla Model 3.
At our depot at Providence on the East Bank Demerara, overnight.
It is moving from heavy fuel oil to natural gas. We use the gas-to-energy factor, about 0.45 kg CO₂/kWh, and update it yearly.
No ride burns fuel in Georgetown's streets, and the cars are quiet.
