Can you elaborate on "we use zero-carbon electricity"? How far abstracted from electrical generation are you? What guarantees do you have that your electricity is provided by low/zero-carbon sources?

We're going to take the power at the renewable power plant, so we will be certain that we are getting zero carbon electricity.
Solar panels or wind turbines do emit CO2 (e.g. construction, maintenance). Is the amount of CO2 emitted per kWh negligible compared to what would be captured from the air ? What's the ratio ?
