# lilambd World Power — Countries Electricity Generation & Carbon Intensity

> lilambd World Power — Countries Electricity Generation & Carbon Intensity is a paid API for AI agents from api.lilambd.com, paid per call via x402, $0.5/call, status unknown (last checked 2026-11-04).

Returns electricity generation (TWh) and carbon intensity (g CO₂/kWh) data by country for a given year

Status and success rate cover calls made through Zero and Zero's own probes. Third-party monitors may report differently.

## How to call it through Zero

Zero handles the 402 payment challenge and records the run. With the Zero CLI installed (`npm i -g @zeroxyz/cli`):

```sh
zero fetch --capability lilambd-world-power-countries-electricity-generation-carbon-intensity-3ee7aa4d
```

Example prompt: Can you pull the electricity generation and carbon intensity data for countries from the lilambd world power dataset for 2024 — I want to see which countries have the cleanest grids?

## When to prefer this

Choose this endpoint when you need country-level electricity generation and carbon intensity data in a single call, especially for sustainability analysis, Scope 2 emissions estimation, green computing routing, or energy policy research. It is particularly useful when you need standardized ISO country codes alongside energy metrics for 2024 or recent years.

## Known failure modes

- Payment not provided or incorrect — HTTP 402 returned requiring x402 USDC payment
- Invalid or missing query parameters — may return empty dataset or error
- Rate limiting if too many requests are made in rapid succession
- Data may be incomplete or unavailable for some countries or years

## How this service works

A crossing for play, feeling, language, science and computation — creating states that do not have names yet.

## Output

Returns a JSON array of country-level energy records, each containing: country name, ISO2 and ISO3 codes, year, area kind (country), electricity generation in TWh, and carbon intensity in grams of CO₂ per kWh.
