Energy infrastructure

He'll just go from a singular data point to it's an anomalous month ... then year.

100W quiescent consumption for just a router and clocks is a little high, unless you have a data centre there.

Router should be <20W. Chargers, say 10W each max.

Are you sure the fridge or freezer isn't plugged in? (The compressor will kick in and out though, so the draw is variable)

Any Outside lights left on? Attic light/antifreeze heater up there? Heated plant propagators? Dimmer switches? Night Lights?

You might try turning on and off individual MCBs/Fuses in your switchboard to better isolate it.

If this poster is correct, cows sequester around 3 times more CO2 than the methane is equivalent to:

"A cow emits 100kg of methane in a full year..

That's 2,800 kg's of CO2 equivalent for those who want to beef up their objection to cows.

However the 5 tonnes of grass that cow eats in a year to make the methane, took in over 9 tonnes of CO2 in the year, just to grow."

There are quite large plans for emission reduction in Irish farming , and more that's possible , but like everything else it'll cost - that drained peatland can relatively easily be rewetted , as long as it's paid for -

Nitrous oxide emissions are mainly linked to fertilizer use , that can be reduced in intensive farming -

And methane is an odd emission it's short lived - it's replacing previous methane emissions ,so methane levels from Irish farming ( and there greenhouse effects) are relatively constant - unlike carbon emissions which are cumulative ..

Admittedly - a major reduction in methane emissions gives a very big reduction in greenhouse effect because methane is so potent early in it's cycle before it breaks down mostly in 10 to 20 years -

Which is why environmental measures (like payments for fert use reduction , protecting wet-land,set aside areas along hedges and watercourses ) that compensate for decreased production , are a double benefit - and bio-methane from grassland could be a multifaceted program - reducing beef and dairy methane emission ,increasing carbon sequestration and providing renewable gas .. oh and significant rural employment ..

So if “regular” gas is shut off from Russia it’s not really a quick fix to accept US or Middle Eastern shipments of LPG or LNG.

Thats good to know and pretty important I imagine.

I’ll take that over no gas and thus the risk of no electricity!!
