We do not currently calculate nonbaseload emission rates, which are a type of marginal emission factor estimate.
In eGRID, nonbaseload emission rates are calculated based on the plant-level capacity factor.
It is unclear whether nonbaseload factors would make sense at the hourly resolution or if an alternate methodology would need to be developed. We could consider publishing monthly and annual resolution nonbaseload factors even if hourly factors do not make sense.
This could also be an opportunity to consider whether the nonbaseload methodology could be improved.
If we publish these, they should probably be separated as a different use case in results, such as
results/marginal emissions
