Climatiq Emission Tracking API

Hey PH community, and thank you @benln for hunting us! 🆘First things first We worry about the climate crisis and we wanted to do our part. We started by understanding what actually causes greenhouse gas emissions and learned that we need more insight, particularly into the environmental impact of businesses. The problem is that those emissions and the activities that cause them are largely invisible to us. The picture is particularly muddy when it comes to the environmental impact of businesses. This includes messy scientific data and methodology, and a lack of simple and affordable tools. Crucial insights therefore remain inaccessible to non-experts, thereby further accelerating the climate crisis. 🧰 The toolkit: Open data + Carbon Tracking API Our goal is to strip away the complexity of capturing critical emission metrics in real-world settings through plug & play software and open data. To achieve this, we collect and maintain an open emission factor database (OEFDB) that we are constantly expanding in collaboration with the science and sustainability communities. To make this data available for day-to-day decision making, we pair it with a simple API and powerful computations that allow for emission calculations in real-time. If you'd like to know more, check out our data explorer and the API documentation all packed with useful how-to guides. 🌱 Our ask: Feedback + Data contributions We’d appreciate your support and look forward to your feedback and suggestions. You can start using the API completely free of charge and within minutes - just sign up on our website and generate an API key to get started. We also encourage data submissions to our open database so please reach out to us if you’d like to collaborate. Thanks to my amazing team who made this happen! 🙏

Open source, api and free to use! This is how carbon data should be treated and used to make every product and company more transparent and responsible!

Climatiq Emission Tracking API is not just an API - it outsources the hassle of figuring out what emissions are related to commutes, products, and more. This product is amazing because it gives peace of mind that the data I'm building my business on is scientifically reliable.

Great and comprehensive vision to build a scalable backend for modern emission accounting - I can see a ton of useful applications going way beyond the startup space and look forward to see the Climatiq team executing on them!

Congrats on the launch @hessam . Its an amazing initiative.

Great initiative, extremely relevant for aligning your business activities with the care for the future of the planet. On top of this, very good data coverage and the API rocks!

Love the initiative!! It's true that's there's so much complexity when you try to understand your carbon footprint. Yet understanding and being able to measure it is the first step and it is key to reducing it at your own scale. Congrats for that API, hope it will make its way through many companies, at a time when only being conscious of environmental issues is not enough anymore!
