Fig. 5

We compare carbon-optimized operation (CARBON) with common practice operation (PRACTICE) across different grid decarbonization scenarios: business-as-usual (BAU), conservative projection (CONSERVATIVE), and optimistic projection (OPTIMISTIC). Box plots show interquartile ranges (25th–75th percentiles) with median values indicated by internal lines. Square markers denote mean values, and error bars represent  ±1.5 standard deviations. The mean values, median values, and standard deviations are weighted by emission share in each distance category. Source data of this figure are provided in the Source Data file.
