Real Time Energy and Carbon Standard for Cloud Providers

Launched: Jul 13 2023

Establish a benchmark for measuring carbon emissions.

Software Standards Working Group

"All models are wrong, some models are useful". The goal of this project is to make the carbon emissions model for cloud based workloads less wrong, by defining a standard mechanism for cloud providers to share more information, and more useful, by having the same data schema for all cloud providers, and to support updates to that data in real time, which could be minute level granularity for energy usage, and hourly or daily granularity for carbon intensity.
