Data and OpenCO2-API

The core of emission calculation consists of reliable emission factors. To meet the requirements of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), many organizations are obligated to calculate the carbon footprint of their actions. However, searching for reliable and up-to-date emission factors consumes resources. In order to facilitate the effort of updating the emission factors and automating the calculations, we offer access to emission factor data through our API-solution. With the OpenCO2-API, the emission factors can be integrated into organizations’ own systems.
