Lookups from external sources
Carbon intensity by country, region, and UTC Date/Time
Providers should clearly and publicly document:
- Which data provider is used for carbon intensity data (for instance, WattTime or ElectricityMaps)
- What carbon intensity metric is used (marginal vs average)
lookup_carbon_intensity_gco2e_per_kwh(country, region, utc_datetime) should look up the carbon intensity in gCO2e based on 100-year global warming potential (GWP100) from a database at no less than hourly granularity.
lookup_carbon_intensity_quality(country, region) should return the quality of the underlying grid mix data on a scale of 1-5 per Model Quality
Fallbacks
We use all data we have available on every single request but in many situations we may lack some information, for this
we have a series of fallbacks to be able to provide reasonable estimates in most situations.
To determine network when it’s not submitted we calculate costs associated to network type
as a weighted average of the fixed and mobile usage in the country (if available) or worldwide.
We can also generally determine the channel from the property or when that is ambiguous but we have device information
we fall back to a default channel by device.
