Observe CO2 on the grid
Tracking CO2 emissions from electricity for scope 1 & 2 emissions is now even more detailed. Every hour we predict the weather and load on the grid which is fed to our grid model. This allows us to scale far beyond traditional bidding zones to provide truly local gCO2 per kWh.
We believe that the grid of the future needs easily accessible carbon intensity data. This will allow everyone from large scale conumsers such as data centers all the way down to IoT devices to be intelligent about their carbon emissions.
The core of our operation is composed of three elements.
- Grid topology
Our grid information is updated regularly to ensure it is accurately represented when we compute the flows throughout the grid. - Load prediction
Thanks to various open data initiatives, more and more electric load data is becoming available. Our models operate at various levels of detail depending on data avaiability in the region. The base level distributes load according to population. - Weather
Recent developments in foundational weather models are bringing the cost of compute for large weather models down tremendously. Our current version has a resolution of 1 hour.
