This table has C02 figures per KWH for different fuels and methods of heating, however they may not be accurate or accurate for low volume users. They assume more typical tariffs for electricity (eg not 100% green).

We use less than 70 litres/person/day. A 50 litre water heater costs less than 400 euros and 1 kWh costs 0.12 euros.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88679#Comment_88679 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88679#Comment_88679 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 12:26:53 +0100 SteamyTea Posted By: marktimedrench
My process is similar but at 11 litres/min. Got it down to 3 minutes for a good shower, 2 for a quickie. Not that this is a competition yet.

What size heating element does it have Marktime?]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88693#Comment_88693 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88693#Comment_88693 Wed, 08 Sep 2010 14:05:47 +0100 marktime
Hope all this info is useful to the OP.]]> http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88768#Comment_88768 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88768#Comment_88768 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 10:26:52 +0100 evan http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88779#Comment_88779 http://www.greenbuildingforum.co.uk/newforum/comments.php?DiscussionID=6249&Focus=88779#Comment_88779 Thu, 09 Sep 2010 12:01:10 +0100 barney
Just use a suitably sized storage cylinder with an electric immersion element and good controls (Size for say a 1 hour reheat and fit a one shot button - by the time you occupy, unpack and have a brew then water is ready to go - particularly as you are going to be mixing hot and cols at the shower and basin anyway)

By the time you account for the embodied energy in a more complex solution and the capital investment you could use elswhere it's debateable if any other system would be more efficient in carbon terms anyway
