codecarbon VS boaviztapi

The underlying calculations apparently depend on the following CSV: https://github.com/mlco2/codecarbon/blob/master/codecarbon/d...

Two problems I see here

1. They are using AWS, which is not in the data set

2. The data set seems questionable to me. The GCP Iowa data center has some of the best renewable usage, are they using the data center total (a larger data center with more renewable can still have more total emmissions vs only 8% of the compute I use should be included in the calculation. Either way, the underlying data for the calculation is out of date

I really like codecarbon to monitor my power usage: https://github.com/mlco2/codecarbon

Have a look at the Boavizta API. It features an automated evaluation of environmental impacts of ICT services and equipments.

That seems to cover on-prem servers and AWS.

Climate change is bad, and is caused by man produced Green House Gas / Carbon / Co2 emissions (OK, you know this).

IT and digital services direct impacts are accounting for a small but growing part of the GHG emissions.

In this fight, every degree counts, so we need to lower those impacts.

To do so, we must assess them first, idealy at the corporation level.

But this is a difficult task, as we do not yet have the right methodologies, data and tools.

Boavizta (www.boavizta.org/) is a non profit work group of 130+ people working exactly on those issues.

Today, we're launching an open source API to assess the environmental impacts of IT infrastructues and cloud services.

You can read more here (https://boavizta.org/en/blog/boavizta-api-automated-evaluation-of-ict-impacts-on-the-environment/), check the documentation here (https://doc.api.boavizta.org), and check the github here (https://github.com/boavizta/boaviztapi).

The project is still early stage, but we're very enthusiastic about it, and have lot of features on our roadmap

So, if you wanna fight climate change, and have a few hours available to help on methodologies / data / code, check it out!
