carbon-intensity

Carbon Intensity is an OCaml client for querying various energy grid APIs to understand the energy generation mix. This enables programs like schedulers, energy monitors etc. to have a better understanding of their carbon intensity.

The API provides geographic-specific services, which allow you to exploit more fine-grained APIs and then a generic Intensity interface for a global-oriented API.

Integrated APIs

• Great Britain:

  • https://www.carbonintensity.org.uk/

• France:

  • https://www.rte-france.com/eco2mix

• Misc:

  • https://www.co2signal.com (requires API key)

Usage

A very simple use of the region specific API for Great Britain only requires the user to provide Eio's network capability.
