I think using a 10 years old figure if the same table shows that there are reductions to be expected is not perfect.

https://envir.ee/sites/default/files/kpp_energiajulgeoleku_u...

has 1170g/kwh as value. While it might also not the "right" value it probably is closer to reality.

Don't get me wrong, I really like the page and what you did and being myself tangentially involved with the european energy market I know how hard it is to get good values for all the different countries as emissions differ on a per powerplant basis even with same fuel type and even when all the specs are identical because their load profiles are different.

You are completely right. We are trying to get some funding to start an initiative to update emission factors per country. This is important.
